Lyrics:
Fleur says she doesn't want to be picked anymore
I say I understand and then tear off her blouse
Fleur sings the ballad of wedding gaol
I hum along it gets me so aroused
Fleur says dying in her prime would be a sin
so I treat her with all respect
Fleur says her forehead is quite different from mine
but what did she expect.

It's August and we're dying
a little day by day
It's August and we're trying
to kill our joys with pain

Fleur gives names to all the anomalies 
that have bruised her petals and her heart
She gives names to all my apologies
I guess you can call it art
Fleur laughs when she cries 
and kisses me goodnight
I wipe away her tears and I want inside
Fleur says nothing and then curses the moon
may she have her wish and die in her sleep soon

It's August and we're dying
a little day by day
It's August and we're trying
to kill our joys with pain.
