Peter Murphy - Canvas Beauty lyrics

Here stands the canvas beauty at her door

Calling beneath the blockade floor

See him turn bedeviled and blacked

For the canvas beauty had locked him back

Away from the king of hearts so pure

In with temptations alluring pour

Away from her his compass mass

The everglade the bonny lass

The actress love that he mistook

A siren for his aging look

The actress love that he mistook

A siren love for his aging look

Here stands Dorian at her need

In Hedonisms shaft like look

He wears the id the painter mistook

And with her flame he'll burn its flesh

Burn the freeze transcend the mesh

Riders wings you give me back

The siren for his aging look

The actress love that he mistook

The siren love for his aging look

Here stands Dorian at her need
