Girl's got a Face Like Murder Lyrics
...we could see in the distance hundreds of men. their campsite illuminated by skin bound to stick.
Like scarecrows: too tired to dance
Too ashamed to look up
Taunted by their shadows
Their empty stares licked at your back
but at your parade we saw you stand tall
"oh, beautiful one" mother sheds a tear
"if only we could reach such great heights"
we are dogs at your waist
"this is my love" we hear you say
"this is my strength" we catch your spit our lips shine prepared to sing your praises
you lose your tongue at the scent of burning flesh
and your mouth was so proud of your existence
I guess you wont be coming home a martyr...
Too ashamed to look up
Taunted by their shadows
"oh, beautiful one" mother sheds a tear
"if only we could reach such great heights"
we are dogs at your waist
"this is my strength" we catch your spit our lips shine prepared to sing your praises
and your mouth was so proud of your existence

well
it sounds like campsite illuminated burning flesh skin to stick but again fear before
never are following how their lyrics are written and are hard to decipher
oh well :)
above comment is true, they are never ones to follow their own lyrics, i remember seeing them last fall and i could swear to god, they played given to dreams and sang different lyrics in some places!
Great song off my favorite album by them.
I can't believe this song wasn't up yet. anywho this is one of the best from Odd How People Shake, and I've writted the lyrics out pretty much exactly as they are in the insert.
