LYRICS:
You got a sense of humour your own misery
I heard a rumour you're making history
Photographic dialogues beneath your skin
Pornographic episodes screaming sin

Real live bleeding fingers
And broken guitar strings

You were their prince charming draped in velvet robes
Of all that's alarming and raw and exposed
Shattered nerves itchy skin
Dirty words and heroin

Real live bleeding fingers
And broken guitar strings

I climbed all the way inside your tragedy
I got behind the majesty
Of the different shapes in every note
The endless tapes of every word you wrote

With those real live bleeding fingers
And broken guitar strings
Real live bleeding fingers
And broken guitar strings
