Mystery Girl Lyrics - Badlees

She probably still keeps herself inside herself 

Her head it ruled her heart with a tune I'll never hear 

Summer, like self-portraits we were hit or miss 

Never the same hues twice 

The second layer's applied before the first one's were even rendered 

I guess her wall's still high and wide 

With the writing on the inside 

Its meaning's reapplied to who's in fashion 

CHORUS 

Time's a perfect crime for a mystery girl 

The veil distorts the rhyme for a mystery girl 

Somewhere tonight a lonely shadow's painting in the rain 

And most of what is captured will be in vain 

You try to keep away the dogs of memory 

The hungry and the restless ones just come at different angles 

A cigarette at midnight in a slow, dark room 

And they're scratchin' at your door 

The corner of your mind you pared to eloquence now rambles 

And the rain sounds like a freight train 

Don't it always come the same 

When your hunger meets the pain of her resilience 

CHORUS 

I guess her wall's still high and wide 

With the writing on the inside 

Its meaning's reapplied to who's in fashion 

CHORUS
