The ones who bit the pill
To fall asleep again
The vodka gave me courage
And took away the blame
And underneath the spotlight she danced out all my names

The moth she did her dance she did
She lost her grip again
Now she's shrivelled, she's all dried up
Lost upon the flame
Lost upon the flame my love
Lost upon the flame
Lost upon the flame my love
Lost upon the flame

She took me to the shadows
She gave me back my name
Upon the twilight we did dance
Flirted again with fame
So I hold my riding crop
I'm whipping myself sane

The moth she did her dance she did
And lost her grip again
Now she's shrivelled, she's all dried up
Lost upon the flame
Lost upon the flame, my love
Lost upon the flame
Lost upon the flame, my love
Lost upon the flame

Into the river I did jump
This time I'm not to blame
They pulled me from the broiling swamp
Washed me in the rain
The ones who bit the pill oh yes
To fall asleep again
The vodka gave me courage
And took away the blame

The moth she did her dance she did
She lost her grip again
Now she's shrivelled, she's all dried up
Lost upon the flame
Lost upon the flame, my love
Lost upon the flame
Lost upon the flame, my love
Lost upon the flame
Lost upon the flame my love
Lost upon the flame
