Death And The Maiden Lyrics

I hold my breath,
And I let it out.
We're on the way, hardly ready.
We're on the way, slightly shy.
You hide a vampire grin in a smile
You sigh, and you hold back like a tear.

Tomorrow night, you'll take me down
To the shed, or the basement
In the dark of the house
You sigh, and you hold back like a tear.

So take what you have to take from me
My red velvet lining.
So take what you have to take from me
My red velvet heart.

The skin is thin, so let me in
To swim with your heartbeat,
Slowing down to a purr
You hide a vampire grin in a smile
You sigh and you hold back like a tear

So take what you have to take from me
And it hurt.
So take what you have to take from me
And it hurt.
So take what you have to take from me
My red velvet heart
