Just like sinister she's going where the winds blow
Just like sinister she's going where the weak field glows
That's right heavenly blue she'll sing songs of sad day to come

Just like sinister she'll go where the heartbeat
So sinister moving with streamline grace
That's right heavenly blue she'll paint empty beaches black skies

She got you fried to the back teeth
Head hanging down
She got a needle in your eye boy
See all the blood running now

You're rolling on empty tracks
Not going to rest in peace
Won't let you fall through the cracks
Get off the ghost train

And you give all your love to her
Then she throws you away

Just like sinister she's going where the wind blows
So sinister she'll keep you warm keep you cold
Get your money well spent
Like heavenly blue she'll paint empty beaches black skies
