So Watch So watch my flesh decayand see how beautifully it goes;like something asking to be loved;like you, too shy to ask meto your room;marks that will survive are marks on skin and mind:not you with me,not face to face;and only this,a last decaypitching to hide itselfwhen each has gone their way. Cause Under empty skiesair finds no flags;people march but the bannersare burnt; the worldis bleeding into hell,and into hellthe worldbetrayed. My fist is flat,the truth is traded;there is nothing left to kill foror to honour. the worldis bleeding into hell,and into hellthe worldbetrayed. Angel I bought a glass palace in Paradisewith a pool and fifty rooms;and off its slender flagstaffI can fly to the moon. I’m god in the city, god in the town,I came from hell but I’m here;from nighttime to nightfallmy parties do not end. I’m alive and free so look at meI dream at the top of the sky;my fingertips are strips of jade -there’s no way I can die. I’m god in the city, god in the town,I came from hell but I’m here;from nighttime to nightfallmy parties do not end. Welcome, roll up, welcome,watch kings and princes sigh;they beg to use my golden wings.they beg to learn to fly. I’m god in the city, god in the town,I came from hell but I’m here;from nighttime to nightfallmy parties do not end. City of Fear Last night I flew over the city of fear;dark coated people came down the streets;they had angel eyes and shrank from light;they looked at me and wished to fly -but they couldn’t grow wings. And in the endit’s the end that living’ about;they do not know how to gothey can escape no morethey have turned to saltinside the doorwaysof this city of fear. Moon high, my rocket feathers carry me freeI see the late night-clubs open up,the curtains of private room drift apart;the battle’s over, but in coloured light,the battle starts again. And in the endit’s the end that living’ about;they do not know how to gothey can escape no morethey have turned to saltinside the doorwaysof this city of fear. People wait with wet wide eyes but the gods have gone,the night goes on;coins rattle in their mouthsthe gates have closed. And in the endit’s the end that living’ about;they do not know how to gothey can escape no morethey have turned to saltinside the doorwaysof this city of fear. Heros Come kill the heroes,tear the faces from the walls;there’s no misleadingleads us closerto Hell. In every street, in every roomtheir faces stare, they take the air,they grin and cheat and stir us;they’ll do anything for us;live our lives the way we want,the heroes. Pictures in magazinesblow up their public lives;the roles they playkill for usand lie. In every street, in every roomtheir faces stare, they take the air,they grin and cheat and stir us;they’ll do anything for us;live our lives the way we want,the heroes. Wars won in cinemasare all we never were;and all we ever arejust turns to dust. In every street, in every roomtheir faces stare, they take the air,they grin and cheat and stir us;they’ll do anything for us;live our lives the way we want,the heroes. River Night-time holds me down and emptyopen to the flood;nothing stops the river breaking in,stops the riverbreaking me. Not sleeping, not waking,I’m trapped in the dark –cold shadows surround meclosing around me;it’s the dream worldof a lost worldof a world that never was. Faces, and the colours tastedturn the years I have not lived;take the lost road back,take the roadunsaid. Not sleeping, not waking,I’m trapped in the dark –cold shadows surround meclosing around me;it’s the dream worldof a lost worldof a world that never was. Cold City In rooms and bars the city throughI see you face the same;every word and touch we makerecalls our needs again. There’s no time for holding backno time enough for fear,and if you wait foreverthere’ll just be nothing there. Yet when love moves and speaksits eyes are flat and closed;and every time we want to giveit suddenly lets go. There’s no time for holding backno time enough for fear,and if you wait foreverthere’ll just be nothing there. We scare of loving, loosing dreamswith this love that must not saywith this love that cannot everdeclare itself again. There’s no time for holding backno time enough for fear,and if you wait foreverthere’ll just be nothing there. So hold me on your fi...
