Jim Caroll - Jealous Twin Lyrics
She moves through the black doorShe turns toward the desperate lightWith her breath like iodineWith her filigree designShe summons the fire from her hipsFlamingo blood melts down her lipsBut the light would not share her,From behind the bending mirror, pulling her within,Like a jealous twin. there was something in her eyeLike a flawed alibi . . . I was just about to askWhen she rips apart her maskRefrainBut me and my girlChase the dragons tailWe double lock the roomWe innoculate the moonAnd the light glows from belowTonight, tonightShe hears the soft drone,Like a pearly blade laid in silicone . . .And the reservoir of sleepSlides through the morning tubeLike a letter written in a dreamThat is answered much too soonAnd she lays across the sofa like a gold stick pinMascara draining down her specious grin, every notionsLoaded motion laced in bombay gin . . . and the serpentsEyes are bursting as she bites into the skin(repeat refrain)She leaves a trail of broken things:Knives . . . lives . . . and wedding ringsAnd the candle drips its lightAcross the fine silk floorSomeone screams for lessSomeone screams for more . . .But the light would not share herFrom behind the bending mirrorPulling her withinLike a jealous twinThere was something in her eyeLike a flawed alibiI was just about to ask, I swear,She ripped apart the maskBut meAnd my girlWe chase the dragons tailWe double lock the roomWe innoculate the moonAnd the lightGlowsFrom down below . . . tonight . . . tonight
