Emma |
| Emma appeared like an angel |
| Emma fell like rain |
| Into my lap like a heart attack |
| Like lightning from her name |
| I’m running dry of bad excuses |
| Don’t want to lie or seem intrusive |
| But time hasn’t told me anything |
| And neither has she |
| A poinsettia in poison rain |
| Traded true love for insult and injury |
| We washed it down the drain |
| With one silver bullet and two Vicodin |
| Emma woke up in darkness |
| Suitcase already packed |
| Note on the bedstand signed in blood |
| Sincerely, never coming back |
| A nightmare on my street the day she arrived |
| A nightmarish household in which she died |
| Because it made her feel at home |
| Somehow made me feel at home |
| A poinsettia in poison rain |
| Traded true love for insult and injury |
| We washed it down the drain |
| With one wooden stake through the heart and two Vicodin |
| A poinsettia in poison rain |
| Traded true love for insult and injury |
| We washed it down the drain |
| With one silver bullet and two Vicodin |
| We watched the sun fall crown |
| On a city that sleeps in a world upside down |
| A slow ticket straight out of town |
| You went out with a bang when you took with you all my dreams underground |
| With you all my dreams underground |
