lyrics

…and I'm feeling so pretty. Some fire this is, dusty old woods are these. Can't we just rest for a moment? No, some ghosts are here; dready old wisps are all coming home, calling home and I'm feeling so pretty. And I'm riding up to that black pass; my hair is in the wind, my eyes are watering and I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm looking down that black pass… we're ready to begin, we're ready for anything and I'm feeling so pretty.

And you know it's only right.

And I loved her so, fragile damsel. No worse for wear, we're okay, we're okay, and I'm okay and I loved her so violent… I know I'm sick and my feet are swollen; my body is blown out anyway. Some venture, loosen me out some venture.

And I'm feeling so pretty.
And you know it's only right.

A genius, they say you're a genius anyway. I think you're bright enough, enough to send him on his way. A grim business this is, so wrong of you to be optimistic. After all, we're living in a failure mode. And I'm out.

Some fire this is, dusty old woods are these. Can't we just rest for a moment?
