high tea - heartbreak kid lyrics

lost girl in the city, not that nice, not shy
a sad kind of pretty, a face that makes you cry
her hair ablaze and scattered, her breath smelling of cloves
her name doesn’t matter, they’ll still come in droves

low deep in the bowels, concrete jungle of the night
their hunger turns to her, that face under the lights
with lips bl++dy like rubies, belting out unearthly sounds
she shakes their glasses, spills their spirits to the ground

for she is the preacher who leads them all home
her stage is a chapel, her song is a throne
she’s packing the bar stools as if they were pews
but there’s no god here, just a d+mn good view

heartbreak kid, you’re the one
you’ve got ‘em dancing, coming undone
heartbreak kid, make ‘em sing

false prophets crave to serve as the sinner craves to feast
she shows them sympathy in a world that loves eat
for those few hours in the darkness, she warms the tired, the wailing, the cold
her long arms reaching out to soothe their begging, to behold

for she is the preacher who leads them all home
her stage is a chapel, her song is a throne
packing the bar stools as if they were pews
but there’s no god here, just a d+mn good view
everyone needs forgiveness, everyone needs a witness
love, l+st, and holy women, pray on the ground you’re given
she might be devil dancing she might be h+ll romancing
she’s probably gonna d+mn you, mind your manners, go say thanks to
