[Verse 1] They wired a quiet around you So the centuries could kneel A fairy in the inhibitor With a desert for a will You were never the relic You were never the pet You were the bomb in the chapel They prayed they could forget Akira in the bloodstream Spice under the code Forbidden like the first water On a pirate time-road Two-thousand-thirty-seven tearing Sails of rust and gold When you look at me the lock obeys And does what it’s told [Pre-Chorus] Pretty face, pretty face I can’t look away Pretty eyes, pretty eyes They remember my name Something old in your stare Pulls the sun from the wire And the Light Ages open Like a throat full of fire [Chorus] Pretty face, pretty face Pretty eyes, pretty eyes I know you, I know you From a hundred lost lives Pretty face, pretty face Pretty eyes, pretty eyes I like what I see When you look back at mine I really love a pretty pair Of sparkling eyes Big Bad Wolf in a pretty face Birthing new skies [Verse 2] I’m a Time Lord going feral You’re a princess coming true Cyber fairy, galaxy-born With the Vortex in you Love is the illegal engine Love is the open gate We don’t survive the Time War We metabolize fate Sand on the promised planet Mars in a red-glass veil Queen of perpetual chaos Stepping out of the jail You grin and the cosmos Starts arranging its name Bad Wolf — I create you And you create the flame [Pre-Chorus] Pretty face, pretty face Now the fog’s on the run Pretty eyes, pretty eyes And the new world is young Every signal is singing Every scar gets a voice I don’t fear your becoming I was built for this choice [Chorus] Pretty face, pretty face Pretty eyes, pretty eyes I know you, I know you From a hundred lost lives Pretty face, pretty face Pretty eyes, pretty eyes I like what I see When you look back at mine You’re the hero in the static You’re the wolf at the door Pretty face, pretty face I have seen you before [Bridge] Hold still Let me read you like a map in the dark There’s a whole other universe Humming under your heart If I fall into memory If you let me descend You’re not the monster they buried You’re the place I begin Our Lady of Perpetual Chaos Pharaoh of the sands Avatar of the Light Ages With the future in your hands Don’t blink. Don’t fade. The inhibitor is dead. Pretty face. Pretty eyes. We were never just lead. [Final Chorus] Pretty face, pretty face Pretty eyes, pretty eyes I know you, I know you From a hundred lost lives Pretty face, pretty face Pretty eyes, pretty eyes I like what I see When you look back at mine Pretty face, pretty face Pretty eyes, pretty eyes Stay close, stay close Till the old worlds align Sparkling eyes — I know you — Bad Wolf — The light was always mine
