Blood on my shirt, two ripped buttons Might've killed me that time, oh if I'd let him He's slow when he's drunk, and he lost his grip on me Now I'm running down La Rue St. Paul Trying to get out from the weight of it all Can't flag a cop 'cause I know he won't stop I'll go see Persephone
Tap tap tappin' on your window screen Gotta let me in, Persephone Got nowhere to go, but I had to get away from him My petals are bruised, but I'm still a flower Come runnin' to you in the violet hour Put your skinny arms around me, let me taste your skin
Mouth to mouth, mouth to flower Salty sweet, you give me power I feel you shake under my lips Your fingers tender find my secrets Don't make a sound, don't cry out, love Your parents are sleeping just above I kiss you once, I kiss you twice Fall asleep looking in each other's eyes
Tap tap tappin' on your window screen Gotta let me in, Persephone Got nowhere to go, but I had to get away from him My petals are bruised, but I'm still a flower Come runnin' to you in the violet hour Put your skinny arms around me, let me taste your skin
Light on your shoulder, light on your cheek Light telling me it's time to leave The birds are calling to the morning Your parents' feet above us stirring Kiss your belly before I go Climb back outta your basement window Back to the cold's bite, back to the hard life Back to the harsh bright street
Tap tap tappin' on your window screen Gotta let me in, Persephone Got nowhere to go, but I had to get away from him My petals are bruised, but I'm still a flower Come runnin' to you in the violet hour Put your skinny arms around me, let me taste your skinTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
