"Xedalli" lyrics

You can hand her off like chattel
You can hold her in your crew
Like a shiny piece of metal
She'll remember you

She is no riddle
You can solve in your sleep
You will not answer her
You'll answer to her
Xedalli... Xedalli

Can you love a girl in fetters?
Do you think she loves you too?
Don't you know better?
I bet her lover isn't you

Carry her away, carry her with you
Carry every lie with the truth
Real soon, your knee will bend
You're only means to an end

You can walk in every room
You can claim all the love for you
Just know - she knew what you'd do
She stays way ahead of you

She will-
Let her hair down
She will-
Put her hands upon your neck, around
And you-
Don't you wish you could fix all of this?

Everyone is shy upon bills coming due
Coming due
But it will come due, come due

(All of you have run up
What a pretty tab left to pay)
Everything's a means to an end
(And she will, she will get hers)
She will have your head on a mantle
(Man you oughta see in her gown)
Everything's a means to an end
(The blood, the red, the hem)
She will have heads on her mantle

Everyone's a means to an end
She will have heads on her mantle
Everything's a means to an end
