Duchess

[Verse 1]

It's your bicycle bells and your Rembrandt swells

Your children live and still breathing

It's your look of loss when you're coming across

Makes me feel like a thief when you're bleeding

[Chorus]

Duchess, Duchess

Light up your candles for me

Duchess, Duchess, Duchess

Put all the love back in me

[Verse 2]

It's the Persian sea running through your veins

You shed your names with the seasons

Still they all return with their last remains

And they lay them before you like reasons

[Verse 3]

It's your shimmering dress, it says no, it says yes

It says, I've nothing left for concealing

It's your shiftless flesh and your old girl's grace

It's your young girl's face that I'm breathing

[Chorus]

Duchess, Duchess

Light up your candles for me

Duchess, Duchess, Duchess

Put all the love back in me

[Outro]

I'm lying, she is crying
