Emerald Lies lyrics

Artist  : Fish 
Song : Emerald Lies



 Send "Emerald Lies" Ringtone to your Cell 

 To be the prince of possession, in the gallery of
contempt

Suffering your indiscrete
discretions, and you ask me to relent

As
you accumulate flirtations, with the calculated
calmness of the whore

I am the harlequin,
with diamonded costume dripping shades of
green

I am the harlequin, sense strangers
violate my sanctuary, prowl my dreams



Plundering your diaries, I'll steal your
thoughts - innocence

Ravaging your letters,
unearth your plots - innocence



To don
the robes of torquemada, to resurrect the
inquisition

And in that tortured subtle
manner inflict questions

Within questions
within questions

Looking in shades of green
through shades of blue

I trust you trust in
me to mistrust you

Through the silk-cut
haze to the smeared mascara

A forty-watt
sun on a courtroom drama



And the
coffee stains gather till the pale kimono

Set the wedding rings dancing on the cold
linoleum



And accusation's moths that
circle around the light

Char their wings in
spiral senseless, suicidal flight

Pack our
world within a suitcase, hot tears melt this icy
palace

And dissolve a crystal swallowed by
the night

Looking in shades of green
through shades of blue

Looking in shades of
green through shades of blue
