Cardinal In Red Bed The bomb fell but didn't ignite in your eyes And your scars are safe from sight below shirt sleeves tonight You said if you never heard your name again it would be alright What goes on in your mind? My, my, you're such a beautiful lie
This whole damn place has lost its charm The locals all long gone below the bridge each night You walk head down on streets once overlooked And they sure look nice now if you can pay the price now My, my, you're such a beautiful lie My, my, you're such a beautiful lie
You can sink into the river Float east out to the sea Settle in the ocean
Big and far as eyes can see Or hold council in the alley Bare feet on hot concrete Just drink yourself to death here Cause you never planned on leaving
Sun fails you at first light when you rise And you drink till the shaking stops, drink till you feel alright You said you'll never be the same again But at least you try now What goes on in your mind now? My, my, you're such a beautiful lie My, my, you're such a beautiful lie
