Intro

Verse

 Well the witches stare with their limbs akimbo

silhouettes of statues up in the window

call me to come here with a crooked crescendo

 but I don't

Pre-chorus

Devotees dance among the fancy minds on the promenade

into a tabernacle on the lawn

 but I don't follow

Chorus

 Because she's mine, she's mine, she's mine, all mine

 yeah she's mi__ne, mi__ne, mine, mmm

Verse

Midnight moved across the people's park

 and I fled the fire like a spinning spark

 up on to a porch in the dark

 she was waiting right there for me

Pre-chorus

She knows that my hands are empty

 as I go past the mothers of envy

 and I don't have to fumble in the dark for my keys

Chorus

 I believe she's mine, she's mine, she's mine, all mine

 Yeah she's mi__ne, mi__ne, mine, mmm

Verse

 The pupils gather in the yard

around the pulpit made of cards

 and waited for their leader's words

 but his words didn't make much sense

Pre-chorus

 His mouth spat out a fist of daggers

 and his tongue swirled in a southern swagger

 and I looked at all the people gathered

 but they were all in a trance

Chorus

 And she's mine, she's mine, she's mine, all mine

 Yeah she's mi__ne, mi__ne, mine, mmm

Bridge

 I was thrown before the court of canes

tossed my soul to the furnace flames

 where all my heroes had been slain, exiled, or put in prison

Because they rose above the mess

and because their power posed a threat

 and because they spoke of something else

 when everybody else didn't

Verse

 the music fills the space between

 the deities and the prophecies

 of our bodies pressed endlessly

 silent in the sand

Pre-chorus

she looks at me so fearlessly

 and I take it all too seriously

 but it all becomes so clear to me

 and makes me understand

[Chorus & Outro]

 That she's mine, she's mine, she's mine, all mine

 Yeah she's mi__ne, mi__ne, mine, mmm

 Yeah she's mine, she's mine, she's mine, all mine

 Yeah she's mi__ne, mi__ne, mine, mmm

 Yeah she's mine, she's mine, she's mine, all mine

 Yeah she's mine
