[Verse 1]
It's your bicycle bells, and your Rembrandt swells
Your children alive and still breathing
And your look of loss when you're coming across
Makes me feel like a thief when you're bleeding
[Chorus]
Duchess, Duchess
Light up your candles for me
Duchess, Duchess
Put all your love back in me
I come listening, I touch touching
[Verse 2]
With a Persian sea running through your veins
You shed your names with the seasons
Still they all return with their last remains
And they leave them before you likе reasons
With your shimmering dress, it says no, it says yеs
It says I've nothing left for conceiving
It's your shiftless flesh, and your old girls grace
It's your young girl's face that I'm breathing
[Chorus]
Duchess, Duchess
Light up your candles for me
Duchess, Duchess
Put all your love back in me
[Instrumental]
[Chorus]
Duchess, Duchess
Light up your candles for me
Duchess, Duchess
Put all your love back in me
