Madame Ray Songtext

Buy me a drink and I will tell you my name

I'm a rose petal fallen from a mainline train

Always there to touch but just out of reach

I know you can't help it



Eye on metronome watching the way you write her name

An object of destruction made for Madame Ray

Ooh oh, i'll be your apprentice

Ooh oh, i'm 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 couldn't keep her

Locks of hair on artist's scissors

Traces of unseen love rivals

Sola rising into pictures



I am forever being put away

and i am always in reserve (x2)



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 (x4)
