Before you, she was a pitbull - now she's more like mercury
Or the shadow of an olive branch, by the river in the liminal valley
These days you do your best to pretend you're friends
A monolithic double fantasy
Trip down city pavement, unleash yourself
Before you fool her of what you can be
Do it for your dead, do it for your dead
Success as sweet as expired candy
Do it for your dead, lead before you're lead
Footsteps of a perfect fantasy
♪
And the sun came up between the traffic
Bending images of light and static
But she'll be there when it really matters
As the rose climbs the coloured lattice
These days you try and avoid the noise
As if you had a choice with those boys
With those boys! And we will -
Do it for your dead, do it for your dead
Success as sweet as expired candy
Do it for your dead, do it for your dead
Success as sweet as expired candy - we will
Do it for your dead, do it for your dead
Success as sweet as expired candy - we will
In this great night I will tremble
In this great night - I will quake
And as she lies there - I lie awake
Yeah in this great night she will tremble and here I wait
♪
Lovers past their best before
(Do it for your dead, do it for your dead, do it for your dead)
A sugar rush that rubs you raw
(Do it for your dead, do it for your dead, do it for your dead)
Heart breaks, tooth will shatter
(Do it for your dead, do it for your dead, do it for your dead)
But she'll be there when it really matters
(Do it for your dead, do it for your dead, do it for your dead)
