|
Calm those vowels down |
|
No-one's thinking of you right now. |
|
She's dressed up - It's her duty to the town. |
|
It's empty. It's vast. |
|
But it imposes it's will. |
|
In a crowded room |
|
Her painted features smothered in the gloom - |
|
Already resigned |
|
At night she scrapes |
|
Away the face that she creates |
|
The mirror sighs... |
|
Why can't we always meet |
|
Under a cloud of mystery? |
|
The noise from a hundred mouths |
|
Working through memory |
|
Big budget, Showbiz exit - |
|
She'll go far. |
|
Acting coy was her favourite ploy |
|
It quickly loses its charm. |
|
The frosted cheek you turned |
|
Will add to your mystique |
|
He burns for you. |
|
I threw myself into your world |
|
Only to come up short... |
|
Why can't we always meet |
|
Under a cloud of mystery? |
|
The noise from a hundred mouths |
|
Working through memory |
|
King for a Thursday afternoon |
|
Before the time when you withdrew |
|
Why can't we always meet |
|
Under a cloud of mystery? |
|
Bathroom lights stud the evening |
|
Where the buildings skim the air |
|
Hairsprayed curls push the cheek |
|
As they swoon on a wooden dance floor |
|
There's nothing worse than taking a chance |
|
On an outdated dance... |
|
Why can't we always meet |
|
Under a cloud of mystery? |
|
The noise from a hundred mouths |
|
Cursing through memory |
|
King for a Thursday afternoon |
|
Before the time when you withdrew |
|
Why can't we always meet |
|
Under a cloud of mystery? |
