Giallo

I dreamed that on the day I killed you I pulled on my black leather gloves I drew the kitchen knife across you And hung you up with dancing doves And paralyzing poison slowly Takes it’s toll upon the nerves If only I could find the courage If only I could find the words Extravaganza death awaits you In loud crescendos They won’t hear a sound of opera music wheeping Lit by candles And white dove feathers on the ground As I drew my knife across you A marble throw that’s ringed in pearls Now pink with blood I sculptures melting And sing these chanting Latin words And in the night thoughts come to haunt us I dream of places in the dark Overthrown with a bitter magic But lace with a maestro’s arm And on the mirror in the bathroom My name there in the scarlet dye But I know they’ll never catch me I’ll be gone with your last sigh For haunted by the thoughts that stalk us The slowly creep upon us in the night Escaping from the shadows where their hiding A place where all our demons fight Behind our eyes we keep our secrets hidden But they are there for all to see Now I’m waiting for the dead hour When your byes have come for me So keep your demons locked within you Lack them safely from the world Keep your demons locked within you Lack them safely from the world So keep your demons locked within you
