lyrics

The flame that's been lighting the darkness is dying
Her heart can no longer take it
So she closes her eyes and she hopes you'll be gone from her mind
And the night will be over
Ooooohoooooo

Coddle her naivete with your gambling eyes
And a cupful of trust
She drinks and you smile and after a while
You give into that devilish lust
Oooohoooo
Oooohoooo

There's glass on the floor and a hole in the walls
Caving in, falling around you
So you reach for the flask thinking once more, at last
Let's press pause before the movie's ended
Ooohooooo

Coddle her naivete with your gambling eyes
And a cupful of trust
She drinks and you smile and after a while
Well, you do what you will, as you must
Oooohoooo

Oooohoooo, oooohoooo
Oooohoooo, oooohoooohoooo
Oooohoooo, oooohoooo
Oooohoooo
Oooohoooooooo
Oooohoooo

Coddle her naivete with your gambling eyes
And a cupful of trust
She's gone in an hour, you'll have no more power
No there's nothing left to discuss
Just you and your drink left to smolder and sink
Disappear
And fade into dust
