[Chorus 1]
She was looking over her shoulder
I'll always wonder why
After all the things that I told her
About the killing sky

[Verse 1]
Pillar of strength, salt of the earth
Framed in the city lights of hell
She took a mirror from her purse
And froze there in the fire that fell

[Chorus 2]
Scorched-earth fingers tap on my shoulder
She's my fatal wound
She floats above a world that can't hold her
Now she's a blood-red moon

[Piano Solo]

[Verse 2]
Flesh of my flesh, dust of my dust
Held in a swoon of swift desire
I could not wake her from the lust
And everything that fed the fire

[Chorus 3]
And now I'm looking over my shoulder
I don't know why
After all the things that I told her
About the killing sky
