[Verse 1]

"A moving aria for a vanishing style of mind"

"A noble debut, tackling vertiginous demands"

"Has absence ever sounded so eloquent, so sad? I doubt it"

[Refrain]

With an arm across the torso

Face on the nails

With an arm across the torso

Face on the pale monkey nails

[Verse 2]

"Touching the shattered lives it unearths"

"A nocturne filled with glorious ideas"

"A chilling exploration of erotic consumption"

[Refrain]

With an arm across the torso

Face on the nails

With an arm across the torso

Face on the pale monkey nails

[Bridge]

Cossacks are charging in

Charging into fields of white roses

Cossacks are charging in

Charging into fields of white roses

"That's a nice suit"

"That's a swanky suit"

"Been a pope like no other"

"I'm looking for a good cowboy"

[Verse 3]

"A rare outcry makes you lead a larger life"

"You could easily picture this in the current top ten"

"Medieval savagery, calculated cruelty"

It's hard to pick the worst moment

It's hard to pick the worst moment

[Refrain]

With an arm across the torso

Face on the nails

With an arm across the torso

Face on the pale monkey nails
