She's the angel On top of the tree Sugar heart, here she comes She's going to fall on me Innocence was our fire We told the truth I miss the sweet boys In the summer of their youth Tear the petals off of you And make you tell the truth Tear the petals off of you Tear the petals off of you And make you tell the truth Tear the petals off of you They will make you So, so cynical The fire burns the flesh Destroys the best that made us old She's the grace of this world She's too pure For the likes of this world This world is a whore Tear the petals off of you And make you tell the truth Tear the petals off of you Tear the petals off of you And make you tell the truth Tear the petals off of you And, oh, it's all mine And, hey, it's all mine And, help, it's all mine I never knew what I could be All the darling buds of May They fall with no sound They carry you down They carry you down Ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh All the lilies bloomed and blossomed Wilted and they're shivering I can't stop their withering This world is a war Tear the petals off of you And make you tell the truth Tear the petals off of you Tear the petals off of you And make you tell the truth Tear the petals off of you Tear the petals off of you And make you tell the truth Tear the petals off of you
