lyrics

Oh my wings!
That you can see between
Thinner for the winters
That have screamed by underneath
I'm down to black
A fish hook in my back
That I will twist and fashion into this
A wedding garrote for your faithless hand, a wedding cilice you will not forget
A wedding garrote for your faithless hand, a wedding cilice you will not forget

Bone China white
But cracked upon the rim
I took you though and took you though the others looked away
I spread my wings
For you against the wind
You spread your legs in anger, spread them wide
A shame that burned and blistered, burned and lied
You spread your legs in anger, spread them wide
A shame the burned and blistered, burned and lied

The hand that holds
The hammer holds the throne
My feathers all point backward
But I know which way to go
I'm down to black
A fish hook in my back
A sweetness offered you could not deny, but I will turn my ragged head and fly
A sweetness offered you could not deny, but I did turn my ragged head and fly
