D-DU-UDU
Emma  appeared like an angel
Emma  fell like rain
Into  my lap like a heart attack,  like lightning from her name
I'm  running dry of bad excuses
 Don't  want to lie or seem intrusive
 But  time hasn't told me anything,  and neither has she
 A poinsettia  in poison  rain
 Traded true love  for insult and injury
 We washed it  down the drain with  one silver bullet  and two vicodin
 With two vicodin
 Emma woke up in darkness, suitcase already packed
 Note on the bedstand signed in blood, "Sincerely, never coming back."
 A nightmare on my street the day she arrived
 A nightmarish household in which she died, because it made her feel at home
 Somehow made me feel at home
 A poinsettia in poison rain
 Traded true love for insult and injury
 We washed it down the drain with one wooden stake through the heart and two vicodin
 A poinsettia in poison rain
 Traded true love for insult and injury
 We washed it down the drain with one silver bullet and two vicodin
 We watched the sun fall crown on a city that sleeps in a world upside down
 A slow ticket straight out of town
 You went out with a bang when you took with you all my dreams underground
 With you all my dreams underground
