Nymphetamine (Overdose)
Cradle Of Filth
Nymphetamine • 2004
Lyrics
Evanescent like the scent of decay,
I was fading from the race.
When in despair, my darkest days,
ran amok and forged her face.
From the fairest of handmaidens,
to a slick perverted wraith
Nymphetamine!
Heaving midst narcissus on
a maledict blanket of stars,
she was all three wishes:
Sex, sex, sex!
A lover hung on her death row,
I was hooked on her disease.
Highly strung like cupid's bow
whose arrows hungered meat.
And the blinding flare of passion
in the shade of narrow streets
where their poison never rationed
all the tips they left in me.
Two tracks, bric-a-brac!
Something passed between us
like a bad crack, upward-lit
I'd met another kind.
Of rat in fact, with every Rome
inside me licked and ransacked
she haunted at the corners of my mind.
In black cataracts wouldn't white
wash away her filthy smoke stack.
She burnt me like a furnace
for my future suicide!
"Lead to the river midsummer, I waved a
V of black swans on with hope to the grave.
All through red September with skies fire-paved,
I begged you appear like a thorn for the holy ones."
Cold was my soul, untold was the pain I
faced when you left me a rose in the rain.
So I swore to thy razor that never enchained
would your dark nails of faith be pushed
through my veins again.
"Bared on your tomb I'm a prayer for your loneliness,
and would you ever soon come above unto me?
For once upon a time from the binds of your loneliness
I could always find the right slot for your sacred key."
Six feet deep is the incision,
in my heart that barless prison
discolours all with tunnel vision.
Sunsetter Nymphetamine!
Sick and weak from my condition,
this lust, this vampyric addiction
to her alone in full submission.
None better Nymphetamine!
Nymphetamine, Nymphetamine,
Nymphetamine Girl!
Nymphetamine, Nymphetamine,
my Nymphetamine Girl!
Wracked with your charm
I am circled like prey
back in the forest where
whispers persuade.
More sugar trails,
more white lady laid
than pillars of salt.
"Fold to my arms,
hold their mesmeric sway,
and dance her to the moon as
we did in those golden days."
Christening stars
I remember the way,
we were needle and spoon
mislaid in the burning hay.
"Bared on your tomb I'm a prayer for your loneliness,
and would you ever soon come above unto me?
For once upon a time from the binds of your loneliness
I could always find the right slot for your sacred key."
Six feet deep is the incision,
in my heart that barless prison
discolours all with tunnel vision.
Sunsetter Nymphetamine!
Sick and weak from my condition,
this lust, this vampyric addiction
to her alone in full submission.
None better Nymphetamine!
Sunsetter
Nymphetamine!
