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 whitewash 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 the 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 lowliness   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 bind of your holiness   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 (Nymphetamine)   None better   Nymphetamine      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 whitewash away her filthy smoke stack   She burnt me like a furnace   For my future suicide
