[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
