Lyrics

[00:00.00] 作曲 : Webley
[00:08.22] The flowers by your bed are wilting
[00:12.43] The sun is setting in the west
[00:15.90] A fog is covering your eyes
[00:17.80] Your stockings are attracting flies
[00:19.43] Decay is nibbling at the boards on which you rest
[00:23.20] There's someone waiting at your window
[00:25.58]
[00:26.84] Familiar face without a name
[00:30.72] One night he'll creep in like the mist
[00:32.00] To touch your forehead with a kiss
[00:33.62] And lead you back into the void from whence we came
[00:37.71] We've all begun to die and don't know what to do
[00:45.67] Since it hurts to pray to God when God is dying too
[00:51.84] Takes strength to laugh when you start to drown
[00:59.72] And we dance while the sky crashes down
[01:05.54]
[01:06.19] Like that the earth begins to quiver
[01:09.90] And all the oceans turn to black
[01:13.07] A ship of maniacs with knives are playing blackjack with their lives
[01:16.90] To kill the time until the giant rats attack
[01:20.41] It's raining leprosy and acid
[01:23.85] The saints were taken out and shot
[01:27.11] When some proffers you a pear you sink your teeth in unaware
[01:30.50] That just beneath the skin lies pestilence and rot
[01:33.85] We've all begun to die and don't know what to do
[01:41.42] Since it hurts to pray to God when God is dying too
[01:48.11] Takes strength to laugh when you start to drown
[01:55.40] And we dance while the sky crashes down
[02:03.15]
[02:31.04] All that now breathes
[02:38.08] And all that you love
[02:45.43] All that we weave
[02:52.95] Will find its way back to the dust
[02:58.04] A band of skeletons are playing
[03:01.86] Don't act like you don't know the tune
[03:05.20] Your part is echoed in the path of every dead leaf blowing past
[03:08.33] Against a counterpoint reflected off the moon
[03:12.28] There is a banquet at the table
[03:15.03] Exotic cheeses, wines, and cakes
[03:18.37] And every one of us is damned until we start to understand
[03:22.69] That living is to gorge ourselves at our own wakes
[03:26.55] We've all begun to die and don't know what to do
[03:34.20] Since it hurts to pray to God when God is dying too
[03:40.78] Takes strength to laugh when you start to drown
[03:48.77] And we dance while the sky crashes down
[03:55.07] When the stakes are high
[03:59.04] Best to play the clown
[04:03.83] And we dance while the sky crashes down
[04:22.23]
