[Verse 1: Shirley Manson & Exene Cervenka]
The day was nearly over
They were hosing down the hulls
They caught sight of her poor body
In the rushes and the mud
She lay where she had fallen
They had hunted high and low
But winter had come early
And she'd been covered up by snow
[Verse 2: Exene Cervenka & Shirley Manson]
It took an hour to cut her
From the spot where she was found
A bright red velvet ribbon
Was tangled in her gown
Her skin was icy white
Her veins were thin and blue
There was black ink on her fingers
And blood on her toes and her shoes
[Pre-Chorus: John Doe & Shirley Manson & Exene Cervenka]
Bees made honey upon her lips
Lips I waited so long to kiss
She seemed so pure without a doubt
'Til the last red drop leaked out
The day was nearly over
They were hosing down the hulls
They caught sight of her poor body
In the rushes and the mud
She lay where she had fallen
They had hunted high and low
But winter had come early
And she'd been covered up by snow
[Verse 2: Exene Cervenka & Shirley Manson]
It took an hour to cut her
From the spot where she was found
A bright red velvet ribbon
Was tangled in her gown
Her skin was icy white
Her veins were thin and blue
There was black ink on her fingers
And blood on her toes and her shoes
[Pre-Chorus: John Doe & Shirley Manson & Exene Cervenka]
Bees made honey upon her lips
Lips I waited so long to kiss
She seemed so pure without a doubt
'Til the last red drop leaked out
