Remedios the Beauty

She walks across the roof
After thirty months of rain
The Lust it rises damp and quickly
They breathe into their lungs
They leave their wives at home
We had to hide the face of Remedios the Beauty

Cause they fall at the feet of the porcelain and frail
Fall dead at her feet if she slips her silken veil
She's climbing towards Heaven tonight

She stood above the minstrel sound
And dropped a flower to the ground
They raised the yellow rose
Their desperate smiles froze
As they tugged past her child's eyes
We had to strike them blind

Cause they fall at the feet of the porcelain and frail
Fall dead at her feet if she slips her silken veil
She's climbing towards Heaven tonight
Yeah yeah she's climbing towards Heaven tonight

Her lips puckered the open sky
And she walks across the roof after months of rain

Cause they fall at the feet of the porcelain and frail
Fall dead at her feet if she slips her silken veil
She's climbing towards Heaven tonight
Yeah she's climbing towards Heaven tonight
