"Nocturne" lyrics - MARK LANEGAN

Red lights, x-Ray vision
That lonely drug is in my veins
Blood stained indecision
And holiness is burned away
Midnight, midnight calling
Color me insane

Still life with roses in a vase
Thorn is in your hand
Unsent letters in a box
Frozen where you stand

Do you miss me, miss me darling
God knows I'm missing you
Somewhere there's two trains colliding
That's what this sickness brought me to

Dead right, all night
When you feel the serpent strike
Nocturne

Black light, house of mirrors
The heavens open up and bleed
Face down, drifting backwards
A lonely river to the sea
Midnight, midnight calling
Coloring my dreams

Anchor chained around your neck
Crisis in your hands
Whispering behind your back
Falling where you stand

And do you miss me, miss me darling
God knows I'm missing you
I can see two cars colliding
That's what this sickness brought me to

Do you miss me, miss me darling
Do you know I'm missing you
Can't you see the world is ended
That's what this damage took me to

Dead right, all night
When you feel the spider bite
Nocturne, ooh nocturne

Do you miss me, miss me darling
God knows I'm missing you
I can see two worlds colliding
That's what this sickness brought me to

Dead right, all night
When you feel the serpent strike
Nocturne, ooh nocturne
Nocturne
