lyrics

Christina cries as

Spanish mistress does her thing
For the soldiers
To her dress they cling

She could have sworn
she had a dream about this the night before
Only she was drunk on Spanish wine

Tearing fabric
Tearing skin
Christina cries as they force their way in

It’s hard enough as it is to keep on going
Knowing what they did to you
And I think I could give
I think I could give

Sometimes gods fail
And so do men
Christina cries as they force their way in

She could have sworn
she had a dream about this the night before
Only she was drunk on Spanish wine

It’s hard enough as it is to keep on going
Knowing what they’ve done to you
And I think I could give
A bit of my time to this helpless Spanish love
And I think I could give anything I could give

The weak prey on the strong
We just move along and we do as we please
Not a question asked about it

Answer me this
Why does everything turn to shit
Why does everything burn
Tell me why does everything fade

Christina you will be another jewel in the crown
You’ll be safe in heaven
There’s no heaven
At least not for you

The weak prey on the strong
We just move along and we do as we please
Not a question asked about it

Answer me this
Why does everything turn to piss
Why do some things burn
Why do some things fade
