Lyrics
* drunken babbling – stilettos walking away *
Staggering silhouettes
dancing
on a dark, misty night,
weaving a tapestry
of shadows and light.
The sound of stilettos (Where? There)
the snap of a trigger
a sense of danger,
ssssssssssssssshhhhhhhhhh
coughing – noises
* quiet *
Listen to the shadows,
the howl of madness,
the din of despair,
as clouds roll over
the dark horizon,
and cigarettes dangle
from wet lips
and crooked teeth
* weird noise *
What was that? I don’t know
Walk slowly
run fast,
What do you do?
What do you do?
The dice keep rolling
as damp hands
caress money
like breasts,
Is that like you?
Is that like you?
Tell me the details
Why rush to the grave
before you’ve been saved?
Why rush to the grave
before you’ve been saved?
It’s too late
to change your fate,
it’s too late,
too late,
it’s too late,
too late,
no, it’s not,
Who said that?
It’s too late
Where are we going? (2x)
It doesn’t matter where we’re going
Grab the wings of an angel
don’t let go,
don’t let go,
Why run,
when you can fly?
Why be low,
you could be so high,
you could be so high,
so high,
so so high.
Have you ever felt so alone
and revelled in the silence?
Put away that gravestone
I’m not dead yet
I think I’ve got something to do
Dance with the silhouettes
in the dark, misty nights,
weave a new tapestry,
change your shadows and lights,
It’s never too late
to change your fate (face??),
It’s never too late
It’s lonely and dark in the ground,
yes,
It is dark in the ground,
very dark,
it’s quite dark,
so dark.
Silhouettes dancing on a dark, misty night,
weave a new tapestry,
We’re all skeletons on the inside,
when we have nothing left to hide.
