Lyrics

Empty as wire
Violent as fire
You lick her diamond and kiss her pearl
But you can't get the Belfast out of the girl
This is how you throw her
Empty as wire
You think you know her
Violent as fire
Make up your mind as she makes up her face
She'll never really know her place
You lay on her frame and give her your name
And bless her with all you can spare
Empty as wire
Empty as wire
Violent as fire
Violent as fire
Empty as wire
Violent as fire
You'll carve her out of thin air
She's crashed home and cruised your world
But you can't get the Belfast out of the girl
This is how you throw her
White eyes are smoking
You think you know her
Black sea is broken
She hasn't left you yet
But she will
What airplane ticket will kill me too
Is sewn into her dress she can't refuse
Careful what you love, what you abuse
She knows violence, she knows please
Her hands for cuffing
Empty as wire
She says nothing
Violent as fire
And hooks her hands
Empty as wire
Behind her knees
Violent as fire
You fuck her flag and feel it unfurl
But you can't get the Belfast out of the girl
Empty as wire
This is how you throw her
Violent as fire
This is how you throw her
Empty as wire
This is how you throw her
Violent as fire
You think you know her
White eyes are smoking
Black sea is broken
White eyes are smoking
Black sea is broken
Twist her arm 'til she cries uncle
Crawling through your bedroom jungle
Turn off the light, time to succeed
She's china glass, there to bleed
Her lovely throat, her lovely cough
White eyes are smoking
Empty as wire
Black sea is broken
White eyes are smoking
Empty as wire
Black sea is broken
Violent as fire
White eyes are smoking
Empty as wire
Black sea is broken
Violent as fire
She's already destroyed
Just finish her off
This is how you throw her
This is how you throw her
You think you know her
White eyes are smoking
Black sea is broken
This is how you throw her
White eyes are smoking
Black sea is broken
Hold down her hand and see it curl
But you can't get the Belfast out of the girl
This is how you throw her
You think you know her
Empty as wire
This is how you throw her
Empty as wire
This is how you throw her
Empty as wire
This is how you throw her
Violent as fire
This is how you throw her
White eyes are smoking
Black sea is broken
White eyes are smoking
Black sea is broken
You lick her diamond and kiss her pearl
But you can't get the Belfast out of the girl
