Skull Beneath The Smile

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Well I cut the devils head off but you know it grew right back My insides turned to jelly like a cave of nervous bats I was levitating - hovering around just like the dead And that skull beneath the smile was always living in my head [Verse 2] It's all divining with my fingers and my broken x-ray eye Remember me to them before I die inside your mind There's no money in the cure - no there's no diamonds in the minе Just a magnifying glass above the skull benеath the smile [Verse 3] Your crucifix is hanging upside down upon my wall And those bible girls keep coming round and knocking on my door I've been covered up in cobwebs - been exiled for the last time And I tell you I can recognize that skull beneath the smile [Bridge] So what's the use in drinking poison? What's the point in endless dreams? Your sufferings just echoing a terrible reprise You can try to fight against it - fill your belly full of bees But you know that sticky blood was never truly worth the squeeze And dreaded though she was she had to choose a sacrifice I was drinking from a jar as I handed you the knife Are you gonna leave me baby? Are you gonna take your life? Are you gonna cut a hole down to the skull beneath the smile? [Verse 4] Your crucifix is hanging upside down upon my wall And those bible girls keep coming round to try and steal my soul I've been tangled up in spiderwebs - cast out for the last time And that skull beneath the smile was always living in my mind
