Wild Beast

{Chorus}
Nothin's true in this song
Although it is
Exactly how my world is
Exactly how your love kicks

{Verse 1}
So cross the name off your arm
Oh C'est la vie
Taking all you want from me
As you crawl back into the sea

So make confessions with the boys
Oh line them up
Tell me all your demons babe
I'll be your penitent you be my priest

{Pre-chorus}
Lay me down in the cold cold earth
Watch the bones as they give birth
Howl your prayer
Wounded love wounded love
Wild beast

{Verse 2}
Cross the dessert with no heat
Move those feet
Fighting in the midday sun
Mad dogs and English men

Just a general with no war
Oh crack the sky
The horsemen croak as they'll reply
You'll know yourself before you die

{Refrain}
Nothin's true in this song
Although it is
Exactly how my world is
Exactly how your love kicks

Lay me down in the cold cold earth
Watch the bones as they give birth
Howl your prayer
Wounded love wounded love
Wild beast

Nothin's true in this song
Although it is
Exactly how my world is
Exactly how your love kicks

{Bridge}
One magpie oh
One for sorrow
Two for joy
Three for a girl
Four for a boy
Five for silver
Six for your liver
Seven for a heart
Delivered in a box
Eight for a wish
Nine for a kiss
Ten for a beast!

Wild beast, oh!

{Outro}
Nothin's true in this song
Although it is
Exactly how my world is
Exactly how your love kicks
