"Villainous Thing" lyrics

Welcome, won't you come inside?
Oh, I fear the passing year did not deserve you
By some devious design
Suddenly you're very near as I prefer you
Soaked and shivered from the rain
You have always been a delicate disaster
Fine in fire and of frame
Me and you are overdue for fiendish laughter

Oh dear, let me see those smoky eyes
'Cause you're a villainous thing, and we can't have you living a lie
Oh dear, let's remove those pretty clothes
'Cause you're a villainous thing, and I don't think anyone knows

Waste no worry for the world
Let it be a tragedy of love and glory
While they wait by gates of pearl
We'll be building palaces in purgatory

Oh dear, let me see those smoky eyes
'Cause you're a villainous thing, and we can't have you living a lie
Oh dear, let's remove those pretty clothes
'Cause you're a villainous thing, and I don't think anyone knows

And you'll find no ever after here
It's clear that isn't what you came for
And I'll be your puckish puppeteer
On this delightful little detour
And you'll find no ever after here
It's clear that isn't what you came for
And I'll be your puckish puppeteer
On this, on, on this

Oh dear, let me see those smoky eyes
'Cause you're a villainous thing, and we can't have you living a lie
Oh dear, let's remove those pretty clothes
'Cause you're a villainous thing, and I don't think anyone knows
