Dead Man's Suit Lyrics - Cherry Ghost

My heart ain't broken 'cause that implies 

It was ever in one piece before tonight 

Paradise is poison in my veins 

Winter runs its fingers through the vapors that remain 

Burn your books in the car, fix your eyes on a star 

And imagine you can handle the loss 

Of a beautiful girl wrapped in black icy curls 

Though your thoughts are like broken glass dragging you down 

None of these roads ever lead, ever gonna lead to your door 

God knows I've been here before and 

I don't need no long walk home down a loveless parade 

Seems I was born in a dead man's suit 

I was born in a dead man's suit 

Drunken old Olympian in the blocks 

Lousy on the trigger and his eye ain't on the clock 

Feed me like a monkey and I'll swing 

Deep inside the canopy where fire and ice are king 

Burn your books in the car, fix your eyes on a star 

And imagine you can handle the loss 

Of a beautiful girl wrapped in black icy curls 

Though your thoughts are like broken glass dragging you down 

None of these roads ever lead, ever gonna lead to your door 

God knows I've been here before and 

I don't need no long walk home down a loveless parade 

Seems I was born in a dead man's suit 

I was born in a dead man's suit 

Sister quick pull the cord, there's a horse on the ward 

With a mouthful of diamonds for teeth 

In a dusty old cape stands a man in its wake 

Singing I got a woman that loves like an ocean and 

None of these roads ever lead, ever gonna lead to your door 

God knows I've been here before and 

I don't need no long walk home down a loveless parade 

Seems I was born in a dead man's suit 

I was born in a dead man's suit 

Under trees that bear no fruit
