Villainous Thing

[Verse 1]

Welcome, won't you come inside?

Oh, I fear the passing year did not deserve you

By some devious design

Suddenly you're very near as I prefer you

Soaked and shivered from the rain

You have always been a delicate disaster

Fine in fire and of frame

Me and you are overdue for fiendish laughter

[Chorus]

Oh dear, let me see those smoky eyes

'cause you're a villainous thing, and we can't have you living a lie

Oh dear, let's remove those pretty clothes

'cause you're a villainous thing, and I don't think anyone knows

[Verse 2]

Waste no worry for the world

Let it be a tragedy of love and glory

While they wait by gates of pearl

We'll be building palaces in purgatory

[Chorus]

Oh dear, let me see those smoky eyes

'cause you're a villainous thing, and we can't have you living a lie

Oh dear, let's remove those pretty clothes

'cause you're a villainous thing, and I don't think anyone knows

[Bridge]

And you’ll find no ever after here

It’s clear that isn’t what you came for

And I’ll be your puckish puppeteer

On this delightful little detour

And you’ll find no ever after here

It’s clear that isn’t what you came for

And I’ll be your puckish puppeteer

On this, on, on this

[Chorus]

Oh dear, let me see those smoky eyes

'cause you're a villainous thing, and we can't have you living a lie

Oh dear, let's remove those pretty clothes

'cause you're a villainous thing, and I don't think anyone knows
