He is chandeliers and velvet seats And the gentle echo of butterfly wings In drafty corners piled with silk and satin He’s the kind of boy who eats alone Never speaks of love; he’d rather it be shown He lingers on long after you look at him
chorus: Painted in gold, and silver-tongued My oh my, he’s a precious one But even precious portraits can rattle their frames He says life imitates art, but they’re not the same He’ll give you the show, send the curtain down in flame
He is rainy nights and cabarets He is honey and charm, wrapped in a smoky haze But careful, darling; all that smoke will blind you He is shining knight, and villain too He'll send thunder your way, then give the sky back its blue He’ll let you run, but just so he can find you again
(chorus)
But under all that fiery debris He is a tragedy in himself Wounded so deep That he wants to ruin somebody else You could almost feel sorry But you’d never quite reach No, you’d never quite reach
Painted in gold, and silver-tongued My oh my, he’s a precious one But even precious portraits can fall from their frames He says life imitates art, but they’re not the same He’ll give you the show, send the curtain down in flame
He is chandeliers and velvet seats Quiet darkness, but still he feels the sting In drafty corners, you can hear him weep Teksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa. |
