A Dangerous Woman up to a Point Songtext

von Destroyer

A dangerous woman up to point once said:
"As per your wishes, I left you for dead.
I left England to the English."
Is it always one thing, or the other with you?
Forgive them, my lord, they know not what they do
Hey, your friends are fucked, in so far as your friends are an ancient beast bronzed in tar

Have I told you lately that I love you?
Did I fail to mention there's a sword hanging above you?
That those who love Zeppelin will soon betray Floyd
I cast off these couplets in honor of the void
I was here to stay
I would weather the storm
I pictured heaven on Earth made of clay, as your form dictated

I went to the garden with the noblest of intentions
I felt the need to be brief
I stuck a rose between my teeth, and had a laugh
The sun sets at the speed of light, so I thought I also might leave this
Port of Woe on tall ships made of snow invading the sun

A dangerous woman up to a point once said:
I've never read 'so-and-so', so why mention him here
In this square where culprits axe me, my dear
Tried to enjoy myself at the Society Ball, really I did
Froze on Union Street, it was spring time
I was just a kid, lost in a map of the stars called 'your eyes'
It was a trap
It was a good time
It was hard to realize

I can't win
I can't even walk
Oh, baby, you should talk
Baby, you should hear what you're saying

They said, 'don't look back!' but I looked back
It was a bore
It was a fucking horror
It was - well, honey, you know quite well what you are!

A dangerous woman up to a point once said:
"People come, and people go, and people lie nameless in the snow..."
