lyrics

Lavender and laudanum- oh you- thought I would have forgot- forgotten by now- but I- Still see it- on my drugs- and in my dreams- I’m not one to quick forget such sick schemes and sweet daydreams

The prophet points his fingers- and the gypsy loads her gun- white doves are bleeding out into the setting sun- she stands on the shoreline- with stark red lips- and they shine like blood- like jewels -like stars in the abyss

Lavender and laudanum- oh you- thought I would have forgot- forgotten by now- but I- Still see it- on my drugs- and in my dreams- I’m not one to quick forget such sick schemes and sweet daydreams

Send shivers- send shivers- going down my spine- out into a lilac night- sin shivers- sin shivers- going down my spine and out into a lilac night

I watch a white snake wrap around a red rose- down we go like dominoes- way down down we go- the garden sinks down into a silver rainbow mist- and opal tears are trapped within a constellation kiss

Lavender and laudanum- oh you- thought I would have forgot- forgotten by now- but I- Still see it- on my drugs- and in my dreams- I’m not one to quick forget such sick schemes and sweet daydreams


Send shivers- send shivers- going down my spine- out into a lilac night- sin shivers- sin shivers- going down my spine and out into a lilac night

With a silver moon and cigarette too - we’re all going all going up in smoke- but with a sinister moon and a silver spoon- you know- somebody’s gonna choke

At the edge of an arrow- at the tip of the tracks- cut yourself on sloppy stars and bleed till they take you back

Lavender and laudanum- oh you- thought I would have forgot- forgotten by now- but I- Still see it- on my drugs- and in my dreams- I’m not one to quick forget such sick schemes and sweet daydreams

Send shivers- send shivers- going down my spine- out into a lilac night- sin shivers- sin shivers- going down my spine and out into a lilac night

Lavender and laudanum- oh you- thought I would have forgot- forgotten by now-

But I remember everything
