lyrics

The, the unknown, the unknown, unknown woman of the Seine
Washed away, hopes and dreams and what to gain
The feeling is, such a sorry tale to follow
A sadness such, a bitter pill to swallow

When they pulled her from the river
No signs of pain, no struggle no strive
A young girl, of no other someones sister, daughter, lover
Don’t know her name, but they said suicide
Twisted suicides to blame

We call the coroner, call the locum, call the judge
Who is that girl, whose face the long to read and such
A strange half smile,
No feeling of regret or hurt
For what she’s seen, what she thought and what she learned

-Chorus-
Oh Annie in your body bag
What an after life you’ve had
Girl from beyond the grave
Think of all the life you’ve saved
But stranger, than this
Stranger than this,
Stranger than this
Is you’re the most kissed

Deep down in the morgue, they cast her face
Entranced by the look she gave
And how she seemed to smile right through you
Her look adorned, a’many walls became a centre piece
A lost girl for your entertainment

-Chorus-
Oh Annie in your body bag
What an after life you’ve had
Girl from beyond the grave
Think of all the life you’ve saved
But stranger, than this
Stranger than this,
Stranger than this
Is you’re the most kissed

Asmund, he picked up her face and saw
The completion he’d been dreaming of
He’d call her Annie,
She’d be a star
He took a mask, and made a model of her smile
We still see Annie
In the dark of the night, when we close our eyes
We still see Annie
Through the folds of time when we say good night
We still see Annie
Through water deep till we hit our sleep
We still see Annie
Her internal kiss good night

-Chorus-
Oh Annie in your body bag
What an after life you’ve had
Girl from beyond the grave
Think of all the life you’ve saved
But stranger, than this
Stranger than this,
Stranger than this
Is you’re the most kissed
