"Trophy Widow" lyrics - THE DAMNED THINGS

THE DAMNED THINGS
"Trophy Widow"

I choose not to coax darkness
Nor will I strike off a match
I'll be first in the front seat
Awaiting my lover to crash
And as the end of the world arrives
I'll welcome the new beginning

My first kiss of death

Two widows become one under the light
The fire will drive us all into the night

Separate lives
You can't bind me to another word
I can't move on, without you stopping me
Hollow eyes
That's why we fight it to the full
I can't move on, without you stopping me

You chose eight maids of honor
I pick lobotomized men
When the preachers preach the word
Only the man will bear witness

Sanction our sins

Two widows become one under the light
The fire will drive us all into the night

Separate lives
You can't bind me to another word
I can't move on, without you stopping me
Hollow eyes
That's why we fight it to the full
I can't move on, without you stopping me

Blinding light meets fire
We're caught in the middle
Laugh as the gates come down
We're not saved just yet
But we might be a little more than halfway out

Separate lives
You can't bind me to another word
I can't move on, without you stopping me
Hollow eyes
That's why we fight it to the full
I can't move on, without you stopping me

Separate lives
You can't bind me to another word
I can't move on, without you stopping me
Hollow eyes
That's why we fight it to the full
I can't move on, without you stopping me
