lyrics

.
~ a triple treat ~
.

I have lived inside a goldmine
and I came clear with nothing gained;
but the dust, in puddles,
like a light and golden wine,
is a cold love
in the corners of my eyes

but I found ribbons on the kitchen floor
and these RED things
are the kind of things ...
are the kind I need ...
you know the kind I need ...
I want more

it goes ...
a triple treat
a treat treat
and triple tigers perish on the hour

Here, I've left these vultures waiting so long,
for so long, their vicious hearts have failed
and did you hear the bare and bleeding shrieks
that make their song?
well, if you must know ...
if you must know they were in love.

But I found ribbons on the kitchen floor
and these DEAD things
are the kind I need ...
you know the kind I need ...
I want more

it goes ...
a triple treat
a treat treat
and triple tigers perish on the hour
