Every second is a lifetime
And every minute more brings you closer to God
And you see nothing but the red lights
You let your body burn like never before.
And it feels better than love.
Yeah it feels better than love.
Every second is a lifetime
And every minute more brings you closer to God
And you see nothing but the red lights
You let your body burn like never before.
And it feels better than love.
Yeah it feels better than love.
Turn away, turn away, close your eyes, you can runaway.
It’s not enough.
Another second in the sunshine,
A decade in the dark taking part in a dream.
Have you forgotten what she looks like?
Or do you only see what you want to believe?
Does it feel better than love?
Does it feel better than love?
Turn away, turn away, close your eyes, you can runaway.
It’s not enough.
I see the lights through the rain, oh tonight, but they never change.
So what is love?
Does it feel better than love?
Does it feel better than love?
So won’t you take me away, oh tonight, we’ll run away.
It’s not enough.
Turn away, turn away, close your eyes, you can runaway.
It’s not enough.
I see the lights through the rain, oh tonight, but they never change.
So what is love?
I don’t mind,
If your hands a little cold
‘Cause I’m alive
But I’ve got nowhere to go.
So stay with me Evelyn,
Don’t leave me with the medicine.
In the night,
As you sit and watch me sleep,
I know you cry
But I never want to see.
So if you go
I don’t know what I’ll do.
So don’t you go,
‘Cause I’ve got no-one but you.
So stay with me Evelyn,
Don’t leave me with the medicine.
So stay with me Evelyn,
Don’t leave me with the medicine.
I see the lights
Casting shadows on my screen
And I don’t mind
The lullabies from the machines
But if you go,
I don’t know what I’ll do
So don’t you go,
‘Cause I’ve got no-one but you.
So stay with me Evelyn,
Don’t leave me with the medicine.
So stay with me Evelyn,
Don’t leave me with the medicine.
I’m more afraid than I’ve ever been,
So stay with me Evelyn.
She could be the cover of a magazine
Sex charge, seventeen, you were her lover
Driven by her grip of the nicotine, her love for amphetamines, going under
And it’s just like looking through the pages of a magazine, magazine, magazine
And she lives her life through the pages of a magazine, magazine, magazine
Sorry if bohemian felony, it’s not for the girl see, stuck down in the sea
Look at folks stealing the clothes, the white stain in her nose and she’s looking really special
And it’s just like looking through the pages of a magazine, magazine, magazine
And she lives her life through the pages of a magazine, magazine, magazine
Glitz, glam, Babysham, sugar cane, cocaine
Gossip queen, Maybelline, flashing lens and fashion trends
Magazine, magazine, magazine
Magazine, magazine, magazine
Magazine, magazine, magazine
Magazine, magazine, magazine
She could be the cover of a magazine
Sex charge, seventeen, you were her lover
Driven by the grip of her nicotine, her love for amphetamines, going under
And it’s just like looking through the pages of a magazine, magazine, magazine
And she lives her life through the pages of a magazine, magazine, magazine
Because it’s just like looking through the pages of a magazine, magazine, magazine
And she lives her life through the pages of a magazine, magazine, magazine
Four footsteps leave the disco
Your feet couldn’t hurt anymore.
Four footsteps running for cover
So sure that you think that she saw.
Her lips were whisky tainted
Your whiskers dripped with gin
This is the perfect story
You don’t know where to begin
And maybe we’ll keep on running home
(we’ll stay, stay)
Because money don’t mean much here
(come on out tonight)
And take me away from her
There’s flash to a beat you remember
And the lights hide the look in her eye
So blank that you think she’s forgotten
Her smile said ‘remember the time…?”
So they run through the crowd to the doorway
Pushing out to the purple parade
Two heartbeats break the silence
Two lovers are running, they’re running..
And maybe we’ll keep on running home
(we’ll stay, stay)
Because money don’t mean much here
(come on out tonight)
And take me away
A queen don’t beat the dealer’s cards
And money, money, money won’t make you a star
The talk won’t change what we are
And money, money, money won’t make you a star
You could be the cure
But I’ve forgotten what they call the disease
I keep lookin’ and I swear that you’re starin’ at me
Where did you go, what did you see?
And do you think they went for me?
Well?
And if you wanna make a night of this
Then just let me know
Just let me go
The stranger sodomy
Dangerous autonomy
The witnesses to your own lives
Witnesses watching us all die
I was looking for a reason
You were lookin’ at me all night long
I’m all over you
The witnesses are turning me on
What did you see?
They went for me
And I just stood and took it all for you
So if you wanna make a night of this then
Just let me know
Just let me go
You fall for nothing
I saw you there killing with
The witnesses to your own lives
Witnesses watching us all die
(just let me know)
The blood keeps running to my eyes
The witnesses and alibis
They died among the disco lights
And I stood there alone
The body parts were everywhere
The witnesses could only stare
I didn’t leave you standing there
You chose to be alone
And even though you left me with your bones
You know I was scared to watch you go
The witnesses to your own lives
Witnesses watching us all die
The witnesses to your own lives
Witnesses watching us all die
So if you wanna make a night of this
Then just let me know
I pictured a rainbow
you held it in your hands
I had flashes
and you saw the plan
I wandered out in the world for years
while you just stayed in your room
I saw the crescent
you saw the whole of the moon!
The whole of the moon!
Oh, you were there at the turnstiles
with the wind at your heels
You reached for the stars
and you know how it feels
To reach too high
too far
Too soon
you saw the whole of the moon!
I was grounded
while you filled the skies
I was dumbfounded by truth
you cut through lies
I saw the rain dirty valley
you saw Brigadoon
I saw the crescent
you saw the whole of the moon!
I spoke about wings
you just flew
I wondered, I guessed, and I tried
you just knew
I sighed
but you swooned
I saw the crescent
you saw the whole of the moon!
The whole of the moon!
With a torch in your pocket
and the wind at your heels
You climbed on the ladder
now you know how it feels
To get too high
too far
Too soon
you saw the whole of the moon!
The whole of the moon!
Unicorns and cannonballs,
palaces and piers,
Trumpets, towers, and tenements,
wide oceans full of tears,
Flags, rags, ferry boats,
scimitars and scarves,
Every precious dream and vision
underneath the stars
You climbed on the ladder
with the wind in your sails
You came like a comet
blazing your trail
Too high
too far
Too soon
you saw the whole of the moon!
I wish my friends could see me now
But I’m captured in your game
And I do nothing but react
To the appreciation
If I didn’t make it up, it wouldn’t happen
But my imagination’s not that wild
A system of love
Resistance is leaving me now
So right should I feel the beautiful scars
I suffer in love
A system of love
Resistance is failing me now
Watching it torn and broken apart
I suffer in all
You did something to me
But I’ll always blame myself
So I do nothing but react
Out of desperation
Remember how I said it wouldn’t happen
But now I just can’t seem to find the words
A system of love
Resistance is leaving me now
So right should I feel the beautiful scars
I suffer in love
A system of love
Resistance is failing me now
Watching it torn and broken apart
I suffer in all
A system of love
Resistance is leaving me now
So right should I feel the beautiful scars
I suffer in love
A system of love
Resistance is failing me now
Watching it torn and broken apart
I suffer in all
Love
Love
The flashlights and echoes paint your suicide
They say that you had a name
We talked, you were fit to die
On your own again
Never take it any more, you say
And you’re never going to play again
Never take it any more, you say
And you’re never going to play again
Only i could see it in her eyes
And you wait, like you’ve waited all your life
A modern waste of modern time
We could ruin you
Welcome to your private life
Wide-eyed on mother’s medication
They always asked for more heartbreak
Stilletos cut like razors on a mannequin
Never take it any more, you say
And you’re never going to play again
Never take it any more, you say
And you’re never going to play again
And you just see the whites of her eyes
And you wait, like you’ve waited all your life
A modern waste of modern time
We could ruin you
Welcome to your private life
And they took it all away
Outlived all the dreams you would die for
Save this queen, they think she’s an idol
And you wait, like you’ve waited all your life
For such a beautiful decline
A wasted youth, wasted you
And your private life
Her European tears
They trickle in your ear
Rivers of No. 5
That blacken both her eyes
Her fingers shake with fear
So what’s she doing here?
You only bought it for
Everything you thought it was
In another dead end bar
We were never worlds apart
London to Moscow will always be too far
I’m not a movie star
It’s just a dead end bar
Go back to Moscow
Stop pretending who you are
Perfect sex
Perfect sex
Perfect sex
Romance and perfect sex
Perfume and cigarettes
No wonder you’re afraid
What a mistake you made
If they could see you now
I guess they’d wonder how
A girl so very clean
Lost herself within a dream
In another dead end bar
We were never worlds apart
London to Moscow will always be too far
I’m not a movie star
It’s just a dead end bar
Go back to Moscow
Stop pretending who you are
London to Moscow
I’d go back to Moscow
London to Moscow
I’d go back to Moscow
London to Moscow
I’d go back to Moscow
London to Moscow
Will always be too far
London to Moscow
I’d go back to Moscow
London to Moscow
Perfect sex
London to Moscow
I’d go back to Moscow
London to Moscow
Will always be too far
In another dead end bar
We were never worlds apart
London to Moscow will always be too far
I’m not a movie star
It’s just a dead end bar
Go back to Moscow
Stop pretending who you are
Don’t believe whatever I’m told, I’m not naive I just don’t wanna know,
I’m counting on my heart, it’s beating out of me,
‘Cos I cannot begin to figure out where I’m meant to be,
And I just wanna dance, like we used to dance,
To reckless hearts not in our hands,
I try to figure it out, but the truth is I don’t want to, now,
‘Cos it’s a different destination, same situation,
Lost in the distance between us,
I don’t wanna lose you, which is why I choose to,
Take one step forward & two steps back to you
Heal anyone to hear a hello, but I can’t touch you on the telephone,
I might be far away, but don’t shout at me,
I think I only just figured what you mean to me,
And I just wanna fall, I just wanna fall, but i’m afraid you’ll take it all,
I try to figure it out, but the truth is I don’t know how,
‘Cos it’s a different destination, same situation,
Lost in the distance between us
I don’t wanna lose you, which is why I choose to,
Take one step forward & two steps back to you
Different destination
Same situation
Lost in the distance between us
I don’t wanna lose you, which is why I choose to, keep walking
‘Cos it’s a different destination, same situation
Lost in the distance between us,
I don’t wanna lose you, which is why I choose to,
Take one step forward & two steps back to you.
