i was a beautiful boy
and a gorgeous girl
i was the queen of the wolves
and the king of the birds
the witches they loved me
the hunters they hunt me
and my life was
the shortest way around
i was a head on two legs
a shadow of a swan
a reflection of dread
a bitter crusade
the cats showed me around
the birds led me the way
and my life was the shortest way around
hey ey ey
that's so much more than i am today
my back against the wall
a bubble on my neck
my flesh an empty shell
my mind stuck in a trap
the cats they found their way
but i just went astray
and the birds they drowned in sound
