She lives on inside my head
until the day I die.
I said, we'd never be apart.
We'd never be apart.
But now she's gone.
I do my best to keep myself together.
And I haven't slept in weeks I guess that
you could say that I've been better.
So I'm going back to what went wrong that night,
don't mean to drag you back here.
But this old house has never been a place I like to go,
you must forgive me.
The fireplace that night when we first kissed,
I can't forget it.
And her lips were red and haunted by the ghost she'd kissed before.
And through her pores I thought I caught a glimple of things to come,
but when I looked into her magic box I knew that i had fallen.
But it was much to late, my hands were tied
and so my fate was sealed and now I lost it there
on flickering linoliem.
My bantering and screeches filled the hollowed of my tortured soul.
She lives on inside my head
until the day I die.
I said, we'd never be apart.
We'd never be apart.
But now she's gone.
I do my best to keep myself together.
And I haven't slept in weeks I guess that
you could say that I've been better.
I woke to children crying
and I knew my fragile mind would never quite be right
and so I gave myself to her completely.
As night fell on that second day
I heard the tremors from the hall.
And what was left of hope inside my shattered head
came oozing out my nose.
But you burst in dressed up like Indiana Jones.
And as I slobbered in the foyer,
blew her brains out with a shot gun
and the blood went down the walls and
stained the curtains black with ashes from her hair
and I declared that you would parish by
my hand if I could ever break the chains that
held me there.
She lives on inside my head
until the day I die.
I said, we'd never be apart.
We'd never be apart.
But now she's gone.
I do my best to keep myself together.
And I haven't slept in weeks I guess that
you could say that I've been better.
