Lyrics

Your prettiness is seeping through Out from the dress I took from you So pretty (from you) And my emptiness is swollen shut Always a wretch - I have become So empty And please, please don't leave me I'm watching Naomi, full bloom I'm hoping she will soon explode Into one billion tastes and tunes One billion angels come and hold her down They could hold her down until she shines I'm tasting Naomi's perfume It tastes like shit and I must say She comes and goes most afternoons One billion lovers wave and love her now They could love her now and so could I There is no Naomi in view She walks through Cambridge stocks and strolls And if she only really knew One billion angels could come and save her soul They could save her soul Until she shines Until she shines Until she shines Until she shines Until she shines So pretty So pretty So pretty So pretty And please, please don't leave me
