Mark Lanegan - Phantasmagoria Blues lyrics

rate me

I have given to you jane

a torn and tattered love

but do you hear the tolling bells

that ring down from above?

thought i’d rule like charlemagne

but i’ve become corrupt

now i crawl the promenade

to fill my empty cup

and you’re free

you’re free again

one more time

now if you found a razorblade

and took it to your wrist

then i’d be here in my electric chair

because of this

all last night and night before

i stood on the pier and cried

but i don’t want to turn away

for fear of going blind

and you’re free

you’re free again

one more time

i have given to you jane

a bruised and beaten love

but do you see the cold white light

that shines down from above?

thought i’d rule like charlemagne

but i’ve become corrupt

now i’ll crawl the promenade

to fill my empty cup

and you’re free

you’re free again

one more time
