Madeleine Lyrics

Gallows gonna swallow the whole damn sun

Like a big black hole, I’m scared of everyone

Wore your misery like a party dress

You know what’s good for the goose

Ain't always good for the rest

Oh, young Queen of the party scene

Yeah you’ve been in more places than I’ll ever be

You lost your mama when you were just three

And you share the same dark chemistry

Better the devil you know

Than the devil you don’t

Better you stick around

But I know you, you won’t

They gonna roll their opinions like we grow our hair

Slowly and broken, bleached beyond repair

Slip up on a tide of ill advice

You never shared your toys

You never played too nice

Who dare call you scared

They gonna find you in your nicest underwear

Singing man is the whole world blind

Or is it I that can’t see the light

You know I’m running out of time

When this old clock was built to stop

And the batteries called you out

Yeah the batteries called you out

Better the darkness you know

Than the devil you don’t

Better you stick it out

Darling I know you, you won’t

And deeper the cave, smaller the light

Heavy breathing in and out

Easy on the eye, oh easily sly

And all your secrets like little black ribbons we wear now

Oh, who dare call her scared

They gonna find her in her nicest underwear

Singing man is the whole world blind

Or is it I that can’t see the light

You know I’m running out of time

When this broke clock was built to stop

And the batteries called you out

Yeah the batteries called you out
