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