I won't continue to bind you with diamonds
Still it's all I know
I ask on your lover to hand you on over
If you're willing to go

But you wore all my skin
On the first day of spring
And some romance I wrote
Is now too cheap to quote
Then calm you down
While I dance around
Like a clown

You took me wandering on seas of patience
Still I raise my words
Now fixed on your body in some act of pleasure
Curse the evening girls

Well I hate where you've been
And the state that I'm in
To love and pretend
All bare to begin
Then calm you down
While I dance around
Like a clown

Handprints on the window
Handprints on the window
Bound from all of my skin
Grow with the shadows
I'll be the shadow
Bound from the mess that I'm in

Well there's bread in the bin
But you wanna get thin
Wore me like a pin
On the first day of spring
Then calm me down
While you dance around
Like a clown
