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
