Angel Of Small Death & Codine Scene (Live at 3Arena, Dublin, 2019)

[Intro]

That's how it works

One, two, three, four

Hmm-mm, hmm-mm, mm

[Verse 1]

I watch the work of my kin, bold and boyful

Toyin' somewhere between love and abuse

Callin' to join them the wretched and joyful

Shakin' the wings of their terrible youths

Freshly disowned in some frozen devotion

No more alone or myself could I be

Lurched like a stray to the arms that were open

No shortage of sordid, no protest from me

[Chorus]

With her sweetened breath, and her tongue so mean

She's the angel of small death and the codeine scene

With her straw-blonde hair, her arms hard and lean

She's the angel of small death and the codeine scene

[Verse 2]

Feelin' more human and hooked on her flesh, I

Lay my heart down with the rest at her feet

Fresh from the fields, all fetor and fertile

It's bloody and raw, but I swear it is sweet

[Chorus]

With her sweetened breath, and her tongue so mean

She's the angel of small death and the codeine scene

With her straw-blonde hair, her arms hard and lean

She's the angel of small death and the codeine scene

[Bridge]

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh-oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh

Oh, oh, oh

[Verse 3]

In leash-less confusion, I'll wander the concrete

Wonder how better now havin' survived

The jarrin' of judgement and reason's defeat the sweet

Heat of her breath in my mouth, I'm alive

[Chorus]

With her sweetened breath, and her tongue so mean

She's the angel of small death and the codeine scene

With her straw-blonde hair, her arms hard and lean

She's the angel of small death and the codeine scene

With her sweetened breath, and her tongue so mean

She's the angel of small death and the codeine scene

With her straw-blonde hair, her arms hard and lean

She's the angel of small death and the codeine scene
