Charlie Lyrics - Singles - The Company Kept

Peering out of piercing eyes 

He tells a tale of catonic demise 

You are every one of us 

And so much more than everything he cries 

And innocence is relative to 

Permanence you'll never live to see 

So make your last obsessions and 

Prepare your last confessions, follow me 

Vampires and acrobats, computers and subway rats are 

Ripping through my head 

And cocaine girls write melodies of glorious fidelities, I dread 

She says it as she's ripping me to shreds. 

Madness makes a man become a martyr in the war for black and white 

And solitary torture builds a character of unrelenting fright 

So he lashes 'gainst the masses carrying a flag of burning doubt 

Billows over bridges till the cities and the villages wash out 

Vampires and acrobats, computers and subway rats are 

Ripping through my head 

And cocaine girls write melodies of glorious fidelities, I dread 

She says it as she's ripping me to shreds.
