"Sylvia" lyrics

"Sylvia"

Sylvia is missing –
Dark stars tattooed
Across her face
Tiny bruises
Black and blue
The dedication on her arm
Reads "LOVE & HATE"
Yeah! Yeah!

Passing through the underground
Sylvia is coming down
The queen has lost her crown
Today

She wants to fall
Into a deep, deep sleep
So she can forget herself
She wants to fall
Into a deep, deep sleep
So she can forget herself

Run away to London
Lipstick tainted
Powered painted
Perfume in her hair
Run away to London
A thousand cold caresses
Couldn't keep her there
Yeah! Yeah!

The fingerprints
Of strangers
On the ugly bedroom floor
Reveal the only traces of what Sylvia is for

She wants to fall into a deep, deep sleep
So she can forget herself
She wants to fall into a deep, deep sleep
So she can forget her self

Passing through the underground
Sylvia is coming down
The queen has lost her crown
Today

She wants to fall into a deep, deep sleep
So she can forget herself
She wants to fall into a deep, deep sleep
So she can forget herself

She wants to fall into a deep, deep sleep
So she can forget herself
She wants to fall into a deep, deep sleep
So she can forget herself

She wants to fall into a deep, deep sleep
So she can forget herself
She wants to fall into a deep, deep sleep
So she can forget herself
She wants to fall into a deep deep sleep
So she can forget herself
