Bright Eyes - A Poetic Retelling Of An Unfortunate Seduction lyrics

The language in the dimmer rooms

Seems to represent the light source well

How soft they speak and seem to be at peace

With the movement of the music and the madness

That is pulling me into this

And the shades of the lamps are woven red

The light, it stains and consecrates

Anointing all forgotten forms

Ahat swirl and smoke and haunt this place

The girls in gowns all nurse the dark

Pulling it near to their swelling breasts

And watch as it seeps to their hearts

And beats within their virgin chests

And here I know seduction breeds

From wanton hearts that would seduce

And grows and spreads its vine and leaves

Embracing those who might have moved

But now remain to drink the night

From vials black and thick with steam

Such intoxicating delights

That leave you drunk inside this dream

And you watch them take the light from you

And you find yourself

On a velvet couch

Tasting the skin of a foreign girl

Her eyes are black

And wet like oil

And she ties your hands with a string of pearls

And you tremble like a frightened bird

As she closes in and captures you

To place you in the silver cage

Deep within her poisoned womb

And once you're safe inside

She might let you out to fly

In the circles around the room

But it's always night

And there is no moon

And you wonder if you are alive

And you're not sure if you want to be

But you drank her sweat like it was wine

And you lay with her on a bed of blue

And it's awful sweet

Like the fruit she cuts and feeds to you
