Lyrics

Dozen Wicked Words

[Verse 1]

Try not to need her, I'm not a believer

A look in your eye makes me satisfied

Stare at this head lies asleep on my shoulder

Opens her eyes as I start to cry

[Chorus]

A larger part the need to be burnt

Justify this excellent girl

One dozen wicked words to find

I know we'll start again sometimes

[Verse 2]

Peace with my stomach, the sky is inside her

Open the window to let her breathe

Patch up the scars with some cardboard and karma

Trust this is far beyond what I need

[Chorus]

Turn around to eat for I will

Blind myself to joyfully kill

One dozen wicked words to find

I know we'll start again sometimes

[Bridge]

I'm starting to fall

This is starting to break me down

[Chorus]

Turn around to eat for I will

Blind myself to joyfully thrill

These dozen wicked words to find

I know we'll start again

A larger part the need to be burnt

Justify this excellent girl

One dozen wicked words to find

I know we'll start again sometime

One dozen wicked words to find

I know we'll start again sometime

[Instrumental Outro]
