Verse:
Bm A F#m E Bm A F#m E
Silent knife, unholy knife, a bridge of cracks click as I twist my spine
Bm A F#m E
I turn to find a visitor
Bm A F#m E
Rapture me my Lolita
Bm
And I know she knows that I killed my love
Bm A F#m E
The minister, the leap of oath
She's as white as a ghost
Bm A F#m E
The aching feels like she's wanted from coast to coast
Bm A F#m E
The scalpel bleach, make that a smile
Bm A F#m E
Stay with me, my darling, for my last little while
Bm
And she sang to me, 'I'll be there as you sing yet I'll be gone before the second kiss me'
Chorus:
Bm A F#m E
"Kiss me out of the bearded barley
Bm A F#m E
Nightly, behind the green, green grass
Bm A F#m
Swing, swing, swing the spinning step
E
You wear those shoes and I'll wear the dress.
Bm A F#m E
Oh kiss me"
