Rebecca Tab

Rebecca, Rebecca
                 
Release that sweet rose
                          
That poses no threat to your eyes

         
Rebecca, Rebecca
                  
You’ve let yourself go
                   
Rebecca, forgiven by I

                
Snake eyes will dawn
               
like a miss unadorned
            
doomed to haunt
                
and again we are born.

                  
Rebecca, forgiven by me

                                    
Striking the earth, for it gave her no spore (?)
                    
And there and she is feared
                               
By the lovers of our loo- ooo- ooord


Forgive her,
                          
Rebecca, born sweetly into sin
                         
Bleached her saved forevermore

        
Rebecca, Rebecca
                
Crawled into her skin
                                
And there she will stay forevermore.
        
Forevermooo-ooo-ore

        
Rebecca, Rebecca,
                       
Pulled out of a needle's eye
                            
Pulled up from death back into life.

                            
A shameful way for a soul to die,
                        
Rebecca, I’m right by your side.
