[Verse 1]
Sylvia is missing –
Dark stars tatooed
Across her face...
Tiny bruises
Black and blue
The dedication on her arm
Reads "LOVE & HATE"
Yeah! Yeah!
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Passing through the underground
Sylvia is coming down
The Queen has lost her crown
Today...
[Chorus]
She wants to fall
Into a deep, deep sleep
So she can forget herself
She wants to fall
Into a deep, deep sleep
So she can forget herself
[Verse 3]
Run away to London
Lipstick tainted
Powered painted
Perfume in her hair
Run away to London
A thousand cold caresses
Couldn't keep her there
Yeah! Yeah!
[Pre-Chorus 2]
The fingerprints
Of strangers
On the ugly bedroom floor
Reveal the only traces of what Sylvia is for
[Chorus]
She wants to fall into a deep, deep sleep
So she can forget herself
She wants to fall ino a deep, deep sleep
So she can forget her self
[Post-Chorus]
Passing through the underground
Sylvia is coming down
The Queen has lost her crown
Today...
[Outro]
She wants to fall into a deep, deep sleep
So she can forget herself
She wants to fall into a deep, deep sleep
So she can forget herself
She wants to fall into a deep, deep sleep
So she can forget heself
She wants to fall into a deep, deep sleep
So she can forget herself
She wants to fall into a deep, deep sleep
So she can forget herself
She wants to fall into a deep, deep sleep
So she can forget herself
She wants to fall into a deep deep sleep
So she can forget herself...
