Death at the Party

At a basement party I was bearing my soul
Preaching to the Angels and Demons alike
Black haired girl in a dim corner catches my eye
Mouths these words so quietly, looks at me and sighs

You've been playing my song all night long
All night long
I love your suicide madness, it turn me on
All your friends are alcoholics, your junkie heroes, dead and gone
I love your suicide madness... it turn me on

Stood up, cocked my head and put the guitar down
The band plays on oblivious as I leave the stage
The crowd is parting like oceans parting, she has become clear
Pale white face and a black tattered dress whispers in my ear

You've been playing my song all night long
All night long
I love your suicide madness, it turn me on
All your friends are alcoholics, your junkie heroes, dead and gone
I love your suicide madness... it turn me on

And I ask her name
Pale white face, dried blood, calming eyes answer me
She said I walk by the light of the new moon
And compromise means little you see
Because many have begged and many more will plead
You want to know my name?
They call me beautiful last breath on your dying day

You've been playing my song all night long
All night long
I love your suicide madness, it turn me on
All your friends are alcoholics, your junkie heroes, dead and gone
I love your suicide madness... it turn me on
