Wicked Blood

LETRA

Wicked Blood

We met in the east,
Poured in like the flood.
You're the whispering kind,
Dark sapphire blood.
A vision of veils,
All shimmery white.
Like a backdrop of sails
All a'glow from the light,
Of the wonder behind that stormy night.

In the mountain song and the blue jay's call,
My heartbeat flows in crystal waterfalls.
You're so beautiful in your elegant bed.
You'd have my blues,
For your Nantucket reds.
I'd wait in the dark
Balanced on the thread.
So I'd wait in the dark
Balanced on this thread.

And under the church light
You stand there,
With your wicked blood and your curls.
Yeah, under the church light,
You stand there in your fur and your pearls.

These lines were here
Long before we came 'round.
These lines were here,
And there's an ember in the rafters
And it's gonna bring this whole thing down.

In the neon mist,
I heard you breathe
An exquisite sound,
Some secret symphony.
Your silken skin,
My fingers rough;
In the midnight dim,
We went home and touched.
Beneath the chandeliers
In your Persian's dust;
Beneath your chandeliers
And your Persian's dust.

And under the church light
you stand there,
With your wicked blood and your curls.
yeah under the church light
you stand there,
In your fur and your pearls.

These lines were here
Long before we came around.
Yeah, these lines were here.

And there's an ember in the rafters,
An ember in the rafters.
There's an ember in the rafters,
An ember in the rafters.
There's an ember in the rafters,
An ember in the rafters.
There's an ember in the rafters,
An ember in the rafters.

Yeah, there's an ember in the rafters,
An ember in the rafters.
There's an ember in the rafters,
An ember in the rafters.

And there's an ember in the rafters,
And it's gonna bring this whole thing down.
