| You lick her diamond and kiss her pearl
|
| But you can’t get the Belfast out of the girl
|
| This is how you throw her, you think you know her
|
| Empty as wire, violent as fire
|
| Make up your mind as she makes up her face
|
| She’ll never really know her place
|
| You’ll lay on her frame and give her a new name
|
| And bless her with all you can spare
|
| Empty as wire, violent as fire
|
| You’ll carve her out of thin air
|
| She’s crashed home and cruised your world
|
| But you can’t get the Belfast out of the girl
|
| This is how you throw her, you think you know her
|
| Empty as wire, violent as fire
|
| She hasn’t left you yet but she will
|
| By airplane ticket or kill-me pills
|
| Sewn into her dress, she can’t refuse
|
| (careful what you love, what you abuse)
|
| She knows violence, she knows please
|
| Her hands for cuffing and she says nothing
|
| And hooks her hands behind her knees
|
| You fuck her flag and feel it unfurl
|
| But you can’t get the Belfast out of the girl
|
| Twist her arm til she’s cries uncle
|
| Crawling through your bedroom jungle
|
| Turn off the light, time to succeed
|
| She’s China glass, there to bleed
|
| Her lovely throat, her lovely cough
|
| White eyes are smoking, black sea is broken
|
| She’s already destroyed, just finish her off
|
| Hold down her hand and see it curl
|
| But you can’t get the Belfast out of the girl |
