Eyes like a slash across her face 
Lips I'd kill a man to taste 
Whatever this stuff is, I'm buying 
Whatever it does, I'll do it 'til I'm dying 

I can't wash her away 
It's getting under my skin 
I can't wash her away 
I can feel her closing in 

Hands like a carnival of queens 
Hair like a heart attack of dreams 
A voice so soft you could cut it with a kiss 
Screams so small you could hold them in your fist 
Little white fingertips running up your back 
Little needling scores where her nails leave a track 

I can't wash her away 
She's living in my skin 
I can't seem to wash her away 
I can feel her closing in 

Eyes like a slash across her face 
Lips so damn sweet you'd cut your tongue out for a taste 
Whatever this stuff is, I'm buying 
If she's nothing but a coffin least she's good enough to die in 
She's a ballroom full of dancing chairs 
She's a child in disguise hiding bullets in her hair 
A voice so soft you could cut it with a kiss 
Screams so small you could hold them in your fist 
Every one night stand is a six week stretch 
Craving her arms twisted up around your neck 
Skin so white, a heart so pure 
If you opened up her veins you'd see the light run through her
