You were right
I was up all night thinking about you
Dreamed I choked on your kaleidescope
They still looked deadly
My fatal flower
How the tigers all laughed
As I ran along the well worn path
Sapphire eye looks
Down on my lilacs
Down on my lilacs
Down on my lilacs
Down on me
Down on me
Down on
Insincere as we rolled for years in turning barrels
I wash my hands in a lake
Cause she threw it all away with roman candles
So take your fever
Let me wallow alone
The callous on your eyes have grown
Sapphire eye looks
Down on my lilacs
Down on my lilacs
Down on my lilacs
Down on me
Down on me
Down on
And your faults have me stoned
Paying rent to your ghost
Torn up by a frightened little girl
I thought that you were right
So I was up all night thinking about you
I thought you were right
You were right
You were right
You were
You were right & I was up all night thinking about you
And I couldn't speak
Covered with bees you flew above me
Figure it all out
I think you've had enough time
I've had long enough to change my mind
Sapphire eye looks
Down on my lilacs
Down on my lilacs
Down on my lilacs
Down on me
Down on me
Down on
And your faults have me stoned
Paying rent to your ghost
Torn up by a frightened little girl
I thought that you were right
And I was up all night thinking about you
You were right so I was up all night thinking about you
I thought you were right
You were right
You were right
You were
