Juliette your cigarette has burned right through your face Through your skin and through your skull and up into your brain It doesn't seem that you will reach the fountain from where you are And possibly this might just leave a really bad, bad scar And you're lying on the living room floor Lying like you've done at least on hundrend times before Burning with a radiant glow Juliette the fire has crept down and your chest's aflame Smoldering an even ring around your torso frame And moving slow the amber glow does flicker clear and clean It's as if someone has doused you in white gasoline With your ashes on the living room floor Scattered like they've been at least one hundred times before Burning off a skin that you have come to abhor And spreading now the crackling sound Down to your hips and waist Traveling past your legs at last a slow but steady pace The smell of dead skin burning lingers sickly in the air Oh Juliette oh Juliette you don't look like you care Though the smoldering has reached down to your knees Moving down your shins over your ankles and your feet Burning with a radiant glow Swallowing devouring the tips of your toes From Letras Mania
