Figurine Songtext

von The Triffids

I keep a figurine in a locket
I like the way she looks in there
I keep a certain shade of lipstick
Silky taste and the way it smears

I bought her a keepsake on a full moon
In a trinket from an old junk shop
Now her blush is racing out of control
In a well known teenage pleasure spot

I slept with a wolf and I dined with a thief
And I drank up a river of witches' milk
If this spell should ever wear off
You'll never wash your hands of love
You'll never wash your hands of love

I'm gonna need a strong anaesthetic
To keep your memory away
I bought myself a pearl handled gun
And I'll use it on myself come valentine's day

Been with Jonah in the belly of the whale
And with Daniel in the lion's den
If this spell should ever wear off
You'll never ever be clean again
And I'll never ever be mean again

I keep a figurine in a locket
I like the way she looks in there
I like a certain shade of lipstick
Silky taste and the way it smears

I slept with a wolf and I dined with a thief
And I drank up a river of witches' milk
If this charm should ever wear off
You'll never wash your hands of love
You'll never wash your hands of love
