Sylvia
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Sylvia is missing -
Dark stars tattooed
Across her face...
Tiny bruises
Black & blue
The dedication on her arm
Reads "LOVE & HATE"
Yea yea
Passing through the underground
Sylvia is coming down
The queen has lost her crown
Today...
She wants to fall
Into a deep deep sleep
So she can forget herself
Run away to London
Lipstick tainted
Powder painted
Perfume in her hair
Run away to London
A thousand cold caresses
Couldn't keep her there
Yea yea
She wants to fall
Into a deep deep sleep
So she can forget herself
The finger prints
Of strangers
On the ugly bedroom floor
Reveal the only traces
Of what Sylvia was for
