lyrics

Oh sing of me the fax machine.
Make a squealing mess of memory.
Of Gwendolyn that smiled remorsefully
at Jonah’s hatred of a withered tree.

Until it’s gone.
My futile breath drags on.
Until it’s gone my lover’s madness sighs.
Until it’s gone
a poet’s burning mind.

Oh holy, holy holy holy holy
holy, holy, holy

She cried holy is the end.

Oh sing of me you desperate kings
as Paris burns and cathedrals ring

of the emptiness of everything
of one last kiss as your lover leaves.

Until it’s gone.
My futile breath drags on.
Until it’s gone my lover’s madness sighs.
Until it’s gone
a poet’s burning mind.

Until it’s gone.
I’m gone.

Until I’m gone
the sickness lingers on.
Until I’m gone
it’s in my skin and bones.
Until I’m gone my lovers madness sighs
Until I’m gone.

Oh holy, holy holy holy holy
holy, holy, holy

She cried holy is the end.

Holy is the end.
