For The Killers Lyrics
I am all raccoon eyes, I am peacock-colored flesh
I am supple parchment, my skin a palimpsest
In red filigree the madmen carve their illustrious names
And with clumsy blue marks in quick succession stake their claims
No no nobody can own me
This is my only authority
My my my body is mine to poison
It is my gift for the killers to cut open
I am drying eyes, I am fading green-yellow flesh
I am brittle parchment, a bleached palimpsest
Living each wound again as a first kiss
Clasping tightly memories of myriad fists
No no nobody can own me
This is my only authority
My my my body is mine to poison
It is my gift for the killers to cut open
This sovereignty is all that's sacred to me
This is the key to kicking tyranny
No no nobody can own me
This is my only authority
My my my body is mine to poison
It is my gift for the killers to cut open
To cut open
To cut open
(To cut open)
I am supple parchment, my skin a palimpsest
In red filigree the madmen carve their illustrious names
And with clumsy blue marks in quick succession stake their claims
No no nobody can own me
This is my only authority
My my my body is mine to poison
It is my gift for the killers to cut open
I am drying eyes, I am fading green-yellow flesh
I am brittle parchment, a bleached palimpsest
Living each wound again as a first kiss
Clasping tightly memories of myriad fists
No no nobody can own me
This is my only authority
My my my body is mine to poison
It is my gift for the killers to cut open
This sovereignty is all that's sacred to me
This is the key to kicking tyranny
No no nobody can own me
This is my only authority
My my my body is mine to poison
It is my gift for the killers to cut open
To cut open
To cut open
(To cut open)
