Lyrics The Divine Comedy

The Divine Comedy

Victoria Falls

I don't know where I am

Who's that boy you're leaning on?

Victoria ceases to care

You're not the only one

Virginia creeps through her hair

Summer evening, summer sun

Virago will publish her diaries when she's dead

To the world

Unlocking the dreams in her head

And the world is blind

Unstable unhinged and unfed

She'll wed the summertime

Unable to answer the questions of her life

I don't believe you

I don't really need to

I won't let Victoria fall

When the night has come and gone

His ghostly perfection remains

Melting in the morning sun

His pale saint complexion unchanged

Lovers go and lovers come

And some stay for longer but never long enough

His shadow lingers on

Victoria ceases to care

His shadow fades like a pop song

Virginia creeps through her hair

Death to the supernatural one

Virago will publish the story of her life

Queen of the South

I don't defend you

I don't recommend you but

I won't let Victoria fall away
