[Verse 1]
TDhey say the king of birds
ADnd the queen of hearts
Wore each other's Gkeys
Before they called the wedding ofDf
DAnd all the feathers rained down
DAnd the town fell asleep
Pulling on the Gpoems
For the midnight sDun
Pulling on the pGoems
For the midnight sDun

DWith a guillotine smile (Guillotine smile)
She handed him a rGose (Handed him a rose)

DThen they laid him in the creek
DWhere the river ran dry
To the mouth of wGisdom
And the end of dDoubt
DThen the woman reappeared

Took him by the rGose
Then he turned to sDtone
Yeah, she handed him a rGose
Left him all Dalone

And unlocked their Dhearts (Their hearts)
DAnd the birds returned (The birds)
DWith songs in their eyes (Their eyes)
With maps to the wGorld (The world)
Never seDen
With maps to the wGorld
Never sDeen
