Elizabeth Green Lyrics - Steve Kilbey

Elizabeth makes abstract mistakes 

In chinatown when everything breaks 

Rain in the windows singapore eyes 

Under the ladder and everything twice 

Elizabeth green burned her machine 

Entered the ashes under column fifteen 

The days and the nights are gallantly looped 

She falls from a world where dead kings are duped 

Elizabeth wakes freezing mind lakes 

Can't lift a hand for the dust that it makes 

The music goes on but the ship has gone down 

Down to the bed with a shining glass sound 

Elizabeth green deep and marine 

Chains planes and pearls and her number thirteen 

Mile after mile burn after burn return
