All of the footage for the video comes from a 1994 short film shot by Anthony Green's cousin, Jonathan Michaels. Michaels was building his film school portfolio and asked then 12-year-old Anthony Green to act in one of the projects, rewarding him with a copy of The Smiths' seminal album, The Queen Is Dead, which Green promptly fell in love with.

Lyrics:

Fiending children writhe

The cradle cap will fall

Rings attach the hands 

Shadow black and cold

Etching out a space 

Forge the thumbprint 

Fake the name 

Leave without a trace

Spark the friction 

Breath to the edge 

Stare into the tunnels eyes

Nature is cruel

make everyone pay 

This road will 

Lead you to the end

Pacing the room  

Forgetting the rules

Dry rust teaming from the lip 

Arms will make the gate 

Buckle from the weight 

Fiending wet nurse writhe 

It echoes through the night

String attached to cans

We digging with our hands 

Etching out a space 

Forge the thumbprint 

Fake the name 

Leave without a trace

Spark the friction 

Breath to the edge 

You’re pushing for weeks before the day

Beware 

Mirror 

You've got the right to stay sedate

To panicked, depressed 

Corroborated 

In time you'll know

You've got the right to stay sedate 

Oh Oh

Don't shake the alter 

We tasted blood 

We tasted blood

Dry rust teaming from the lip 

Arms will make the gate 

Buckle from the weight 

Blind wince tear away the lips 

Legs to push the weight 

Heavy through the gate
