The Verlaines
for the love of ash grey
Select language to translate this lyric
You took me down to Alexandria
Showed me where the library stood
All this rampant kind of ignorance
Is happening everywhere that you look
Oh God...
And in between drinking
Impairing your hearing,
Being so bloody uninspiring, singing
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
All the way home
You've not known much at all
For the love of ash grey
You barter far too much away
For the love of ash grey
You lie within a single state
I have a book and you yourself have written in it
And if you want I'll let you take a look at it
Know all there is to know, or just remain a shadow of it
You took me down to Alexandria
Showed me where the library stood
I held a book, a match, a tin of kerosene
I didn't feel very good
Oh God...
