Lyrics
I feel high for the first time & it sure feels nice
My love?s a devil brings me chains & valentines
She was a youngest child I like the only one
She outshines the sun
We grew some history ooh every family
Grows cold without love
She got paralyzed
By the snakes in the knots in the back
Of her mind
& you can?t hold a catatonic
With a vice without love
She got a bag that she drags everywhere
Even though it slows her down
She poisons her baby boy
Even though she don?t know
I was a melody in that cold symphony
She conducts with old bones
A skeleton orchestra ooh poor lover
How you must grow without love
She takes bricks from her bag to build a wall
She don?t need no love
Stands her ground & won?t look down
The tightrope broke
But she don?t know love
