The Amazing Devil
New York Torch Song
[Intro: Madeleine Hyland & Joey Batey, Both]
"Fuck you," he said
"Fuck you," she said
"Fuck you," they said
As they threw their threads from their wedding bed
We'll talk about this tomorrow

[Verse 1: Madeleine Hyland]
In the backwards of the world
In the wings unfurled twirl
In the upside-down frown of the dark
On the tippy-toe tin rooftops
In the vodka drama thrift shops
It's where we'll make our mark

It starts off like a pinprick
A trick of the light oil slick
Then grows to the size of your hand
Turns you outside in
Cigar burns and scar skin
Ripping bone and nail and gland

[Pre-Chorus: Madeleine Hyland & Joey Batey, Both]
But your blood does not bleed red no more
It's whiter than the sun burns, bright with every hum
From within this gaping wound of ours
A new us has begun, a new us has begun, a new us has begun
Can't we just talk about this
Tomorrow

[Chorus: Both]
Oh, light me a New York torch, my boys
Oh, light me a New York torch, my boys
Oh, watch the fire surprise, surprise
Burn up and up into those skies
Oh, light me a New York torch, my boys

[Verse 2: Madeleine Hyland & Joey Batey, Both]
Tear me up and burn me up and rip me up and leave your
Hand on the wall as you go

Blood's pouring like martini
Graffiti sweet bikini
Is that what you think of me now no no no

[You god or devil, ghost dishevelled
Childhood friend or drunken revel
I cannot stop I'm bleeding out for you
You angel heart you monster oh
Some godforsaken Prospero
Your feathers and your paws
Your hell for leather applause
You dance on tables, endless labels (Ah, ah)
Are you Cain, 'cause I'm not Abel (Ah, ah)
Your bastard lasting night bus asking (Ah)
What's the everlasting fable
I cannot find the words to keep you
I cannot find the words to keep you
[Pre-Chorus: Joey Batey & Madeleine Hyland, Both]
But your blood does not bleed red no more
It's whiter than the sun burns, it's bright with every hum
From within this gaping wound of ours
A new us has begun, a new us has begun, a new us has begun

Can't (a new us has be-, new us has be-, new us has begun) we just talk about this
Tomorrow

[Chorus: Both]
Light me a New York torch, my boys
Oh, light me a New York torch, my boys
Oh watch the fire surprise surprise burn up and up and up and up
Oh, light me a New York, light me a New York, oh

[Ad-libs: Joey Batey & Madeleine Hyland, Both]

[Chorus: Both]
Fuck you (fuck you)
She said (he said)
Fuck you (fuck you)
She said (he said)
Fuck you (they threw their threads from their wedding bed)
We'll talk about this (talk about this)
Talk about
Oh, oh, oh
Light me a New York torch, my boys
Oh, oh, oh
Light me a New York, torch my boys
Oh, oh, oh
Watch the fire surprise surprise burn up and up and up and up and
Oh, light me a New York, light me a New York
Oh, oh, oh
[Outro: Joey Batey & Madeleine Hyland, Both]
In the backwards of the world (oh, oh)
In the wings unfurled-libs] twirl (oh)
In the upsidedown frown of the dark (ght me a New York torch, my oy)
On the tippy-toe tin rooftops (oh, oh)
In the vodka drama thrift shops (oh)
It's where we'll make our mark (light me a New York torch, my boys)

It starts off like a pinprick (oh)
A trick of the light oil slick (oh)
Then grows to the size of your hand (watch the fire surprise surprise burn up and up and up and up)
I cannot find the words to keep you
Oh, oh (oh, oh, oh, scream)
