The Cure
The Figurehead [Paris]
[Verse 1]
Sharp and open, leave me alone, I'm sleeping less every night
As the days become heavier and weighted waiting in the cold light
A noise, a scream inside with spiders inside them
And dust on the lips of a vision of hell
I laughed in the mirror for the first time in a year

[Verse 2]
A hundred other words blind me with your purity
Like an old painted doll in the throes of dance
I think about tomorrow
Please let me sleep as I slip down the window
Freshly squashed fly, you mean nothing, you mean nothing

[Verse 3]
I can lose myself in Chinese art and American girls
All the time lose me in the dark, please do it right
Run into the night, I will lose myself tomorrow
Crimson pain, my heart explodes, memories in a fire
Someone will listen, at least for a short while

[Bridge]
I can never say no
I can never say no to anyone but you
To anyone but you
[Verse 4]
Too many secrets, too many lies, writhing with hatred
Too many secrets, please make it good tonight
With the same image haunts me, in sequence despair of time
I will never be clean again, I touched her eyes
Touched her stained face I will never be clean again

[Refrain]
Touched her eyes, touched my stained face
I will never be clean again
Touched your eyes, touched my stained face
I will never be clean again
I will never be clean again
I will never be clean again
I will never be clean again
I will never be clean again
I will never be clean again
