Send them in, see them on If she can’t find a lover she’ll fashion one Imaginary man, like the burnt out poets in the Hinterland The phoenix says The double says The serpent says The siren says Why use the word, when the word needs the believe? The hourglass sees what shelf-life does She asked exactly: Tell me what is love, but breathing life alone? And just the words from prophets and religious shows Imagine hurt, imagine tears She opened up until she disappeared And vanished hand in hand With all the long lost children locked in Neverland The phoenix says The double says The serpent says The siren says Why use the word, when the word needs the believe? The phoenix says – Burn for me The double says – Lie for me The serpent says – Beg for me The siren says – Die for me © & ℗ IAMX Productions Inc. 2006
