Dead Man's Suit Lyrics
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
imagine you can handle the lies
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
Druken 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
It was ever in one piece before tonight
Winter runs its fingers through the vapours that remain
Fix your eyes on a star
imagine you can handle the lies
Of a beautiful girl
Wrapped in black icy curls
Though your thoughts are like broken glass dragging you down
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
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
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
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
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
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

There is something very majestic about this song. Amazing lyrics and melody.
This song is so dense with imagery that conjures up this beautiful existential longing. But I think it's "imagine you can handle the LIES" instead of loss.
trainspotter - you're probably right. I just copied it from the official website :)

I don't understand the second verse. What does he mean?
