Madame Ray

Give me a polaroid picture till you fit in my pocket

Now paste it into my heart shaped locket

Eventually Ill cheat on every man I meet

I know I cant help it

Buy me a drink and I will tell you my name

Im a rose petal fallen from a mainline train

Always there to touch but just out of reach

I know you cant help it

in the way you write my name

An object of destruction made for Madame Ray

Ooh oh, ill be your apprentice

Ooh oh, im still in my 20s

Eyes from a portrait of one whose love could see no more,

You cant keep her captive, on your wall

Left New York but drew my outline

On a ticket back to london

Whitewashed all my boyfriends features

Sola rising future pictures

Lie behind a camera past the city music hall,

Madame Ray will sit me high above you all

Left New York but drew my outline

On a record sleeve in brooklyn

Whitewashed three years of existence

Sola rising future pictures

Man let go, he couldnt keep her

Locks of hair on artists scissors

Traces of unseen love rivals

Sola rising into pictures

I am forever being put away

and i am always in reserve

Always in reserve

Materials indestructible

Forever being put away

Taken for a ride, put on the spot

The locket must go on

I am always in reserve

I am forever being put away

and i am always in reserve
