The Strange Case of the Velvet Murders Lyrics

The rains came early this year
And before the first drop fell
I knew this would be
This was no ordinary night
The dancing ghosts oer our heads

Released from the swarm
Embracing relief

And you're escaping the sun (include me)
A little feast when i'm gone (so lucid)

Closed eyes could never wonder
But the sky seemed so blood red (i knew this would be)
And the visiting spirits
Feasting on their own skin as well

Released from the swarm
Embracing relief

And you're escaping the sun (include me)
A little feast when i'm gone (so lucid)

Too clear for me to understand
I crush a white rose upon her feet

And i hold my breath
