Lyrics for Ava Adore

It's you that I adore You'll always be my whore You'll be a mother to my child And a child to my heart We must never be apart We must never be apart Lovely girl, you're the beauty in my world Without you, there aren't reasons left to find And I'll pull your crooked teeth You'll be perfect just like me You'll be a lover in my bed And a gun to my head We must never be apart We must never be apart Lovely girl, you're the murder in my world Dressing coffins for the souls I've left to die Drinking mercury to the mystery Of all that you should ever leave behind In time In you I see dirty In you I count stars In you I feel so pretty In you I taste God In you I feel so hungry In you I crash cars We must never be apart Drinking mercury to the mystery Of all that you should ever seek to find Lovely girl, you're the murder in my world Dressing coffins for the souls I've left behind In time We must never be apart And you'll always be my whore 'Cause you're the one that I adore And I'll pull your crooked teeth You'll be perfect just like me In you I feel so dirty In you I crash cars In you I feel so pretty In you I taste God We must never be apart
