Lyrics

[00:22.94] Your only rule: Stay alive
[00:29.19] Just keep breathing, you’ll be fine
[00:34.98] And now she’s pulling up out side
[00:40.56] The car lights crawling across the curtain
[00:47.33] So put the gun back on the wall
[00:53.31] Take the suitcase from the wardrobe
[00:59.48] And there’s a dead man on the floor
[01:03.71] He’s not going anywhere
[01:06.14] And you’re moving to the door
[01:11.41] And everything he ever did
[01:14.64] He only ever did for love
[01:17.43] Everything he ever said
[01:21.05] Was only ever said for love
[01:23.66] And now, now he lies dead
[01:27.77] He’s dead for love
[01:29.40] His mind’s at ease
[01:31.03] He sleeps in peace
[01:40.12] Your reflection in her eyes
[01:45.85] You just don’t recognise
[01:51.82] And soon you’ll realize
[01:58.30] This guy’s not going anywhere
[02:04.39] And now he’s done this, he wants more
[02:09.85] Race with the shadows to the door
[02:15.86] A guy like this needs to be shun
[02:21.80] No one was there when the devil rode out before
[02:28.35] And everything he ever did
[02:31.73] He only ever did for love
[02:34.10] Everything he ever said
[02:37.67] He only ever said for love
[02:40.18] And now, now he lies dead
[02:44.32] He’s dead for love
[02:46.20] His mind’s at ease
[02:47.46] He sleeps in peace
[02:53.14] And in the shadows your will walk tall
[02:55.77] And there you’ll stay until you fall
[02:58.71] And when the final hour arrives
[03:01.71] It's only lovers left alive
[03:04.92] Wretched souls and gangsters’ molls
[03:07.78] Beyond the valley of the dolls
[03:10.69] Your story they will never tell
[03:13.59] Because their lips are sealed
[03:17.06]
[03:17.53] And everything you ever did
[03:21.14] You only ever did for love
[03:23.58] And everything you ever said
[03:27.31] You only ever said for love
[03:29.63] And now, now he lies dead
[03:33.85] He’s dead for love
[03:35.53] Your mind’s at ease
[03:36.96] You sleep in peace
[03:41.93] And everything you ever did
[03:45.26] You only ever did for love
[03:47.55] And everything you ever said
[03:51.31] You only ever said for love
[03:53.67] And now, now he lies dead
[03:58.06] He’s dead for love
[03:59.59] Your mind’s at ease
[04:01.07] You sleep in peace
[04:06.85]
[04:20.42] (Carl)After a sleepless night the body weakens.
[04:23.43] It grows dear, not one’s own, it’s nobody’s.
[04:28.07] Sluggish, the vein still retain in ache of arrows,
[04:33.37] One smiles to all with a seraph’s ease.
[04:39.97] (Pete) ...I melt like a slender candle,
[04:37.03] Then from my bare shoulder
[04:44.25] A black strap slides.
[04:51.25] A black strap slides.
[04:55.07] (Carl)Lips glow softly
[04:56.69] the shadow’s more golden
[04:58.49] Under sunken eyes.
[05:00.42] Night has set ablaze
[05:03.09] This most radiance countenance
[05:06.13] - and dark night renders
[05:10.52] But one part of us dark (-the eyes)
