Gao The Arsonist Blackice Lyrics

[Intro: Christy Moore]
Colour of my true love—
Colour of my true love-love-love—
Colour of my true love—
(This is the Arsonist)

[Chorus]
There's no avoiding the smell
I'm destroying myself
This well is poisoned and you just fell in
Blood'll boil, ice'll melt
Mortal coil round my health
Are you enjoying yourself?

[Verse 1]
Treat all affairs of the heart like business
Up in the air once the contract's finished
I'm impossible to contact
Whole new identity invented for protecting the witness
Whеre there's smokе there's fire
My goodness, 3.5 in the house
Split the G's like Guinness (Bitch)
Hard to be believed by cynic
I mean it
I meant it

[Chorus]
There's no avoiding the smell
I'm destroying myself
This well is poisoned and you just fell in
Blood'll boil, ice'll melt
Mortal coil round my health
Are you enjoying yourself?

[Verse 2]
Desperate
Just trust my metal's tested
You should have made a break but
Made snow angels in asbestos
“What is wrong with you?”
Baby that's too vague a question
Don't know what you expected
My sickness spread and made you sick as well
Who could have guessed it?
Who could have guessed it?
Who could have -?
Who could have guessed it?
Who could have guessed it? Who could have -?

[Verse 3]
Water in the potholes and the black ice
I got you running off the road into cat's eyes
Walk out the wreckage, scratched coat and a slashed tire
Is this a bad time?
Is this a bad time?
Guess we're in the same boat and it capsized
It doesn't matter if we're soaked
I've been baptised before
It means nothing just like last time
I warned you

[Refrain]
I know how it looks
You slip, you crack
(You break) I've seen this before
(You give) One mistake
(Collapse) And fade to black
I know how it looks
You slip, you crack
I've seen this before
(You break) I've seen this before
(You give) One mistake
(Collapse) And fade to black

[Chorus]
There's no avoiding the smell
I'm destroying myself
This well is poisoned and you just fell in
Blood'll boil, ice'll melt
Mortal coil round my health
Are you enjoying yourself?

[Refrain]
I know how it looks
You slip, you crack
(You break) I've seen this before
(You give) One mistake
(Collapse) And fade to black
I know how it looks
You slip, you crack
(You break) I've seen this before
(You give) One mistake
(Collapse) And fade to black
