Tragedy

"As the words were chosen
his heart was frozen
his soul had spoken
but it sounded all twisted and broken

Years and years ago
they delivered the final blow
and suddenly his life ain't worth a damn

There were ghosts
and they lit up this town
but they left
when they sold off the underground
we ain't welcome here no more

As the words were chosen
his heart was frozen
his soul had spoken
but it sounded all twisted and broken"

-- Tragedy, by Devotchka, from Super Melodrama (2002)
