Lyrics

When I'm naked, I tell no lies
You are fur-lined, but you're wise
When you're golden, I'm your beast
Seven minutes and you're released

Dark dark dark dark dark dark dark princess
Dark dark dark dark dark dark dark princess

Silhouetted -- you're hard to beat
I saw your outline above your feet
I saw your footsteps, I saw the snow
And I was hoping you'd say hello

Dark dark dark dark dark dark dark princess
Dark dark dark dark dark dark dark princess

Turn up the silence
Turn up the snow
Turn up the glove you wear
Turn up the love you show
The love you show

I kneel before you, bearing a crown
Merciful princess, won't you look down?
I'm drinking your waters, I'm clutching your sleeve
You're further inside me than you'd ever believe
Than you'd ever believe

Dark dark dark dark dark dark dark princess
Dark dark dark dark dark dark dark princess

This one goes out to the Dark Princess
I looked for her and she found me

Yeah, she found me
OK
