Charlie

Peering out of piercing eyes
He tells a tale of catonic demise
You are every one of us
And so much more than everything he cries
And innocence is relative to
Permanence you'll never live to see
So make your last obsessions and
Prepare your last confessions, follow me

Vampires and acrobats, computers and subway rats are
Ripping through my head
And cocaine girls write melodies of glorious fidelities, I dread
She says it as she's ripping me to shreds.

Madness makes a man become a martyr in the war for black and white
And solitary torture builds a character of unrelenting fright
So he lashes 'gainst the masses carrying a flag of burning doubt
Billows over bridges till the cities and the villages wash out

Vampires and acrobats, computers and subway rats are
Ripping through my head
And cocaine girls write melodies of glorious fidelities, I dread
She says it as she's ripping me to shreds.

Vampires and acrobats, computers and subway rats are
Ripping through my head
And cocaine girls write melodies of glorious fidelities, I dread
She says it as she's ripping me to shreds.
