Gm Dm In the half-light, single-traffic light F A# Where Elizabeth composed herself Gm And having done the deed Dm She pointed at her sleeve F Gm And pulled the trigger on the antonym Chorus: Gm Dm Release the demon Sylvian fraud tonight F I see you in my line of sight Gm Dressed in golden fleece Gm Dm Please, don't let your children die tonight Am Whatever is wrong or right Gm Let them sleep in peace And where the rose converged Wild foxes on the curb Poison ivy, poison motherhood How can I think of this?
