Joanna Lyrics
[Verse]
Evil personified
She preys on the dead
Desert woman
Veiled in silence
I was so wrong
Shame invaded truth (I don't need)
They knew nothing (I don't need)
My eyes failed to ruin (I don't need)
Her illuminate reflection
[Chorus]
Joanna, please stop loving me
I am too sensitive (I don't need)
Joanna, darling, lift my spell
I dream in broken images (I don't need)
Joanna, with your folded cards
The narcissist woman (I don't need)
Joanna, courteous clairvoyant
Please stop ruining me, woman
[Post-Chorus]
(You'll see)
(I don't need)
(I don't need)
[Verse]
Evil personified
She preys on the dead (I don't need)
Desert woman
Veiled in silence
I was so wrong
Shame invaded truth
I knew nothing (I don't need)
My eyes failed to ruin
Her illuminate reflection
[Post-Chorus]
(I don't need)
[Chorus]
Joanna, please stop loving me
I am too sensitive
Joanna, darling, lift my spell
I dream in broken images
Joanna, with your folded cards
The narcissist woman
Joanna, courteous clairvoyant
Please stop ruining me, woman
