Juliette Lyrics - Crooked Fingers - Crooked Fingers

Juliette your cigarette has burned right through your face 

Through your skin and through your skull and up into your brain 

It doesn't seem that you will reach the fountain from where you are 

And possibly this might just leave a really bad, bad scar 

And you're lying on the living room floor 

Lying like you've done at least one hundred times before 

Burning with a radiant glow 

Juliette the fire has crept down and your chest's aflame 

Smoldering an even ring around your torso frame 

And moving slow the amber glow does flicker clear and clean 

It's as if someone has doused you in white gasoline 

With your ashes on the living room floor 

Scattered like they've been at least one hundred times before 

Burning off a skin that you have come to abhor 

And spreading now the crackling sound 

Down to your hips and waist 

Traveling past your legs at last a slow but steady pace 

The smell of dead skin burning lingers sickly in the air 

Oh Juliette, oh Juliette you don't look like you care 

Though the smoldering has reached down to your knees 

Moving down your shins over your ankles and your feet 

Burning with a radiant glow 

Swallowing, devouring the tips of your toes
