delicate thing Songtext

Delicate Thing
It′s a walk in the park, it's a shot in the dark, it′s a scorpion's sting
as a ship in the night needs a beacon of a light, such a delicate thing
it's a slip of the toungue, it′s a bird in a hand, a hand on a gun it′s it's the coming of spring, it′s the end of the line, such a delicate thing
oh beautiful girl, delicate figure in a merciless world, but it's alright
it′s a beast you can't kill a void you can′t fill, a game you can't win
it's a love you can′t make, a spell you can′t break, a door that won't let you in


it′s a thing you can't hide, it′s the sorrow inside, such a delicate thing
oh beautiful girl, delicate figure in a merciless world, but it's alright
such a beautiful face, delicate creature in a dangerous place, but it′s alright
like a fire in the hole, something out of control, hidden under the wing
another freudian slip, another crack of the whip, such a delicate thing
oh beautiful girl, delicate figure in a merciless world, but it's alright
such a beautiful face, delicate creature in a dangerous place, but it's alright
