Dead Man's Suit

My heart ain't broken 'cause that implies

It was ever in one piece before tonight

Paradise is poison in my veins

Winter runs its fingers through the vapours that remain

Burn your books in the car

Fix your eyes on a star

And imagine you can handle the loss

Of a beautiful girl

Wrapped in black icy curls

Though your thoughts are like broken glass dragging you down

None of these roads ever lead

Ever gonna lead to your door

God knows I've been here before and

I don't need no long walk home down a loveless parade

Seems I was born in a dead man's suit

I was born in a dead man's suit

Drunken old Olympian in the blocks

Lousy on the trigger and his eye ain't on the clock

Feed me like a monkey and I'll swing

Deep inside the canopy where fire and ice are king

Burn your books in the car

Fix your eyes on a star

And imagine you can handle the loss

Of a beautiful girl

Wrapped in black icy curls

Though your thoughts are like broken glass dragging you down

None of these roads ever lead

Ever gonna lead to your door

God knows I've been here before and

I don't need no long walk home down a loveless parade

Seems I was born in a dead man's suit

I was born in a dead man's suit

Sister quick pull the cord

There's a horse on the ward

With a mouthful of diamonds for teeth

In a dusty old cape stands a man in its wake

Singing I got a woman that loves like an ocean and

None of these roads ever lead

Ever gonna lead to your door

God knows I've been here before and

I don't need no long walk home down a loveless parade

Seems I was born in a dead man's suit

I was born in a dead man's suit

Under trees that bear no fruit
