She brings an offering
I pay in eyes and teeth
A while later
I will come down to see
My hands are shaking
Bury me on the beach
Charlie and Churchill
Jasmine, jade and a ring
I'd give anything royal
Listen to me
You are the needle and string
Pick red or blue, boys
The killer is a cure
The green is brilliant
The white is soft and pure
I see them circling
My hands are trembling
Charlie and Churchill
Jasmine, jade and a ring
I'd give anything royal
Listen to me
You are the needle and string
Jade and a ring
I'd lose everything loyal
Listen to me
You are the needle and string
Baby, please give it up and get out while you can
Sweetness on her breath (mmm)
Leaving hits just a little bit harder than death
That is my request (mmm)
Jasmine, jade and a ring
I'd give anything royal
Listen to me
You are the needle and string
Jade and a ring
I'd lose everything loyal
Listen to me
You are the needle and string
She brings an offering
I pay in eyes and teeth
A while later
I will come down to see
Charlie and Churchill
White gold and tyranny
My hands are shaking
I think you know what I mean
