Cover my eyes
The light falls on her face 
Dangerous lines
Dangerous colours and shapes 
Ferocious designs 
Connected and ready to play 
Buttoned up tight 
Crimson and Halloween-white

She's like the girl in the movie when the Spitfire falls 
Like the girl in the picture that he couldn't afford 
She's like the girl with the smile in the hospital ward
Like the girl in the novel in the wind on the moors 

Pain and heaven

Verse 2 (as before)
=======
The meaning of life 
A hair falls out of place
Cover my eyes 
Dangerous colours and shapes 
And when she moves
Cover my eyes 

Chorus (as before)
======
She like the girl on the TV with the red guitar 
Like the girl with the dealer at the end of the bar 
She's like the girl with the smile in the dream in the dark
Like the girl overtaking in the open car 

Pain and heaven
Pain and heaven
