Destroyer - A Dangerous Woman Up to a Point Lyrics

A dangerous woman up to a point once said
"As per your wishes, I left you for dead
I left England for the English"

Is it always the one thing or the other with you?
"Forgive them, my lord, they know not what they do!"
"Hey, your friends are fucked
In so far as your friends are an ancient beast bronzed in tar"

Have I told you lately that I love you?
Did I fail to mention there's a sword hanging above you?

"Those who love Zeppelin will soon betray Floyd"
I cast off those couplets in honor of the void
I was here to stay
I would weather the storm
I pictured heaven on earth made of clay, as your form dictated

I went down to the garden with the noblest of intentions
I felt the need to be brief
I stuck a rose between my teeth and had a laugh

The sun set at the speed of light, so I thought I also might leave this
Port of Woe on tall ships made of snow invading the sun

A dangerous woman up to a point once said
I've never read "so-and-so," so why mention him here
In this square where culprits axe me, my dear
Tried to enjoy myself at the Society Ball, really I did
Froze on Union Street, it was springtime,
I was just a kid lost in a map of the stars called "your eyes"

It was a trap
It was a good time
It was hard to realize

I can't win
I can't even walk
Baby, you should talk

Baby, you should hear what you're saying
They said, "don't look back," but I looked back
It was a bore
It was a fucking horror
It was, well, honey, you know quite well what you are

A dangerous woman up to a point once said
"People come, and people go, and people lie nameless in the snow"
