lyrics

Can we waltz in the wind with our hair wet
Lord, let us bask in one more morning dew
And make love beneath silver sky moonlight
See my emerald eye pierce through
(It's looking at you)

Have you ever tried quitting while you're ahead
The ticking hands are the Devil's work
Oh and can you hear them beckon us down the red ribbon road
We offer peace with a smirk
(We're here to worship the dead)

And all these Peter Pans still shooting coke up their nose
Searching for some sense of harmony
Ticket to Neverland to dance the dance of delusion
Co exist in modus vivendi
(Where nobody seeks to grow)

The flugelhorn has blown its last call
As the spear of the hand penetrates the other
Oh his eyes start to fade and blood stains my lips
Yet somehow we've saved one another
(And only in death do we fall)
