Well the distance makes you pretty
And now you’re cracked and gray
And your legs they move like scissors
They open up the wound each time
You give yourself away
And I’m sorry for the damage
Let me lay down by your side
Let me come down almost human
For awhile Just for awhile
So dance for me Virginia
Let the leather kiss your pale white skin
I’d say I love you baby
But I’d rather keep it straight and clean
CHORUS
You’re torn and frayed
you bleeding rose
But you fall each time
the wind begins to howl
And on your knees
these twisted prayers
They fill your mouth
but leave you bare
It doesn’t mean much
to a girl who’s on her own...
