Lyrics
You're boned like a saint
With the conciousness of a snake
You're the kind of girl (kind of girl)
I'd like to find
Face like an angel (in my mirror)
But you're boned like the devil
Your eyes have shifted from me (have shift)
Everyone saw what you did (your eyes)
You have slipped from beneath me (from me)
Like a false and nervous squid
Oh, no more horses, horses
We're going to swim like a fish (we're gonna swim like a fish)
Into the hole in which you planned to ditch me
My lovely
Vera Marie
(I was soaring)
Planned to leave me cold (a sound)
But you'll never get your wish (feeling appeal)
On the twenty-fourth of May (your birthday)
I gather up your reins
You filled me with a vengeance (filled me)
And you touched me with your breath (vengeance)
I'm gonna pull you from this dance (this dance)
You're gonna ride so easily
Oh, no more horses, horses
We're going to swim like a fish (we're gonna swim like a fish)
Into the hole in which you planned to ditch me
My lovely
Vera Marie
Hey! Come on Vera!
(Each night
I dance)
Oh, no more horses, horses
We're going to swim like a fish (we're gonna swim like a fish)
Into the hole in which you planned to ditch me
My lovely
Vera Marie
I was your victim (victim)
I was well deceived (deceived)
Hell's built on regret (regret)
But I love your naked neck
And evil lies that you told me (your lies)
Made me believe you're two-faced (it's true)
But there's two faces have you
And they're both gonna go
Oh, no more horses, horses
We're going to swim like a fish (gonna swim like a fish)
Into the hole in which you planned to ditch me (ditch me)
My lovely
Vera Gemini
