Precious Metal Lyrics - Singles - Joyshop

Over-priced but under-sold 

You'll soon be worth your weigh in precious metal 

Roll the crimson carpet out 

The jack of clubs has come and will not leave 

Fate loved me but now does not 

I heard it from a rare clairvoyant petal 

First you thrash me then you run 

You broke the heart I fastened to my sleeve 

Oh you're killing me now 

You're over the moon and I'm under the ground 

Oh it's killing you too 

That they fought over me 

But poured scorn over you 

Oh it's payment in kind 

That you're half what I love and half what I despise 

Oh you're killing me now, you're killing me 

Out of time but into greed 

Your pots will slowly turn to copper kettles 

Sneak a breath then spit it out 

Enjoy the pound of freshly scented truce 

One obsession at a time; 

Your grip is getting loose around the nettles 

Time to flee, and fly you will 

A felon with a melancholy muse 

Chorus
