Pre-Raphaelite versuri

Versuri Paris Paloma – Pre-Raphaelite lyrics

She looked like a painting by a Pre-Raphaelite
With red hair cascading past her sloping sad eyes
If Rossetti could have seen her, how he would have cried
And he didn’t have words like mine

Auburn hair tucked into the neck
Of her father’s blue cable-knit fisherman vest
So when I tuck my locks into the collar of my shirt
From time to time I think of her

And I’m everything that she isn’t
And I would make myself in her image if I could
If I didn’t know better, if I didn’t know more
She sits on velvet in candlelight
Collaterally illuminating all my inadequacies
I spend my life building pedestals

And I get the feeling
That when it’s dark, she glows
She dances naked
My body I can never show
She’s in a painting
And I’m out of it
And I make things
But she’s made out of it

She’s made out of it
Out of it
She’s made out of it
Out of it
She’s made out of it

I once watched as we sat by the stream
Her pluck a pink magnolia straight from the tree
Without a care in the world, that flower she did eat
So nonchalant, speaking to me

And there was a time I was certain and I was sure
She grew straight from the earth on her pedestal
But here in the dirt I know her better
I know her more
And I’d be subject to her laughter if she ever did know
Those things shaped me after, into my skin sewn
Even she is a patchwork
And how I enjoyed the fall

And I get the feeling
That when it’s dark, she glows
It’s in her nature
Not any kind of show
She’s in a painting
And I’m out of it
And I make things
And she’s made out of it

She’s made out of it
Out of it
She’s made out of it
Out of it
She’s made out of it

Red hair tucked into a blue sweater
Hand-knit, pink magnolia petals
Men swear blood oaths for their Helen
But she needs no such defender
Spider writing on her letters
I know her more, I know her better
I know her flaws, and I’ve known heaven
I know her more

And I get the feeling
That when it’s dark, she glows
It’s in her nature
Not any kind of show
She’s in a painting
And I’m out of it
And I make things
And she’s made out of it

She’s made out of it
Out of it
She’s made out of it
Out of it
She’s made out of it
