lyrics

She wears her darkness like a coat
It fits her all too well to toss it out
She sleeps in the morning, and howls at the night
There's no apology in her paradise

You'll find her in places she can haunt
She lives in crowded rooms inside your head
She won't take your money, but she'll want your soul
She needs not what you have, but what she can own

Oh . . . she's not a child but she can hide
Oh . . . she's building a solitary tower of stone
That you can never climb

She'll try to keep you on the ground
She'll stand well but you'll be upside down
She won't want your promise, but she'll make you pay
She won't mind telling you it's her holiday

Oh . . . she's not a child but she can cry.
Oh . . . she's building a solitary tower of stone
To keep you locked outside

She wears her darkness like a coat
It fits her all to well to toss it out
She won't want your story, just your sympathy
She'll show you to her door, but you won't find a key
To her paradise
