lyrics

Any way that I turn my head:
Your candles lit, dripping upon my lips.
And every night when I lay my head,
Sugar plum fairies prattle on about it:
They say that at the end of the last life
We crossed our hearts, hoped before we died:
“In the next one, love, well I’ll meet you there.”
But, Saint Peter’d forgotten to mention
A soul pile-up on the inter-dimension,
And we both got star-crossed getting born.
And it cracked the demons up…
To tear our angels up…
Tear my angel up…

Aimee, I know better,
but I’m no better still…
Blood glow, dripping feathers,
Flying to you still.
My stray-cat heart
Drug you in one morning
And now will not leave.
God, what a mess,
When something he’d keep
Gets set in his teeth...

But, You’re the best thing I ever saw,
You’re the best thing I ever saw...
And I'll never have or hold you at all.
You’re the moments that get away
You’re the moments I can’t erase
Now every one between is just a waste.
Especially with that long hair…
Something with that long hair
Daddy said the key to long life:
Consult your heart; keep your own advice.
Turns out my heart’s an arrant fool.
If I followed its best intentions,
We’d have drama in multi-dimensions,
Demons looking to string-theorize us up.
They’d tear our angels up.
Tear my angel up.
Tear my angel up.

Aimee, I know better,
But I’m no better still…
Blood glow, dripping feathers,
Flying to you still.
My stray-cat heart
Drug you in one morning
And now will not leave.
God, what a mess,
When something he’d keep
Gets set in his teeth...

Tear my angel up.
Tear my angel up.
Tear my angel up.
Tear my angel up.
