Placebo - This picture Lyrics

I hold an image of the ashtray girl
Left cigarette burns on my chest
I wrote a poem that described her world
And put our friendship to the test
And late at night while I was on all fours
She used to watch me kiss the floor
What's wrong with this picture?
What's wrong with this picture?

Farewell the ashtray girl
Forbidden snowflake
Beware this troubled world
And watch out for earthquakes
Goodbye to open sores
To broken semaphore
You know we miss her
We miss her picture

Sometimes it's faded
Disintegrated
For fear of growin' old
Sometimes it's faded
Assassinated
For fear of growin' old

Farewell the ashtray girl
Angelic fruitcake
Beware this troubled world
Control your intake
Goodbye to open sores
Goodbye and furthermore
You know we miss her
We miss her picture

Sometimes it's faded
Disintegrated
For fear of growin' old
Sometimes it's faded
Assassinated
For fear of growin' old

Hang on
Though we tried
It's gone

Hang on
Though we tried
It's gone

Sometimes it's faded
Disintegrated
For fear of growin' old
Sometimes it's faded
Assassinated
For fear of growin' old

Can't stop growin' old
