telyscopes - perfume / in the tooth lyrics
[verse 1]
the guard rail a mangled, tangled mess
like it was chewed up and spit back out
every morning the flies swarm her door
they taunt, “you’re getting longer in the tooth.”
long, all my t–th are long
[verse 2]
twenty one years almost to the day
and all the footage was erased
she nineteen and he thirty two
and now the last of august has had the last of you
[chorus]
too late (will you teach me to jump over the flame?)
i’m too late (and laugh in the fire and dance in the fire)
i’m out of time (while the flame rises)
[verse 3]
i was running late (long)
now i am early to die (now it’s been so long)
the smell of rubber and black smoke pours out
young and supple (long)
unmarked by time (all my t–th are long)
bl–dy hands still grip the wheel
royal blood is laughing at you
and all of wales is sobbing for you
they’re leaving flowers (long)
at kensington square just for you (all my t–th are long)
and no one knows what the h-ll to do
[chorus]
too late (will you teach me to jump over the flame?)
i’m too late (and laugh in the fire and dance in the fire)
i’m out of
too late (will you teach me to jump over the flame?)
i’m too late (and laugh in the fire and dance in the fire)
i’m out of time
too late (will you teach me to jump over the flame?)
i’m too late (and laugh in the fire and dance in the fire)
i’m out of time
