Wrecked leather
Torn head dress
Blue cold lips
She’s almost dead
We spoiled her rotten
Decked her out, from head to toe

As thick as her hard shell
She crawls out of
Just in time
On this final
On this final night
Can’t you see how you’re tempting me
Don’t make me blow the whistle on you
So close now to the end
