Falling at the feet of betters
Firmly in my place
How can she find me while I am entwined
In the shadows of better men?
Submerged in a sea of faces
More handsome than mine
How can she find me while I am engulfed
In the shadows of better men?
I am so far away
So far away
Falling at the feet of betters
Firmly in my place
She'll never find me while I am at home
In the shadows of better men

Pity this poor boy
His only crime was loving you
A wash of despair
And yet he dances but sings
Oh death, please rock me to sleep
Rain down on me
Rain shit on me
I don't feel so good
Might be that my own heart could die before me
Betrayal's sweet kiss
Had poison on her lips
If this is hell
Why are good souls sent here?
Oh death, please rock me to sleep
Oh love, please sing me to sleep
Rain down on me
Rain shit on me
I don't feel so good
Might be that my own heart could die before me
Rain down on me
Rain shit on me
I don't feel so good
Might be that my own heart could die before me

In a town you'd never find, I have been waiting
For the one that I adore to adore me too
'Though my limbs hang from strings, I have control
Save for one, the one which leads from my heart to her
Petrushka, Petrushka
As for him, the one she loves... How I detest him
And the man who carved my face to repulse my love
Petrushka, Petrushka
