lyrics
what will she want when she's in town?
the colour black, to hush the sound
a velvet room in which to paint
room to whisper, room to wait
what can you give her when she comes?
a light to see the winter sun
a costume and a jug of wine
to waste away till summertime
so she will paint herself away
never mind the nighttime
never mind the day
give her a room without a window or a door
with velvet walls and a velvet floor
where will she go when the work is done?
nowhere special, noplace fun
a line of dolls all dressed in black
will wait in line to take her back
so watch her paint herself away
never mind the nighttime
never mind the day
give her a room without a window or a door
with velvet walls and a velvet floor
the colour black, to hush the sound
a velvet room in which to paint
room to whisper, room to wait
what can you give her when she comes?
a light to see the winter sun
a costume and a jug of wine
to waste away till summertime
so she will paint herself away
never mind the nighttime
never mind the day
give her a room without a window or a door
with velvet walls and a velvet floor
where will she go when the work is done?
nowhere special, noplace fun
a line of dolls all dressed in black
will wait in line to take her back
so watch her paint herself away
never mind the nighttime
never mind the day
give her a room without a window or a door
with velvet walls and a velvet floor
