0:00I have seen the starlight fading
0:03Into echoes on the floor
0:07And I dreamed the stars parading
0:09Like tin soldiers on the shore
0:13Well the city casts no shadow now
0:17At midnight all the whores
0:20Come out and dance with darkness
0:23And the night rains pour
0:32Moonbeams gather dust
0:34The cobwebs rust into the ground
0:39Windows stare at the open air
0:42And the sparrows dare to drown
0:45Death becomes a debutante
0:49Stranded in her gown
0:52Branded like a leper
0:55And the night rains down
1:04By morning all the debutantes
1:07And the virgins have their fill
1:10It's a signal to the vagabonds
1:14Who come in for the kill
1:17Me I must be lucky now
1:20For the sky is with me still
1:24It's written on the wind
1:27That the night rains chill
1:45I dreamed the sun was falling
1:48Into darkness and I ran
1:52Into the night was endless
1:55Slipping through my famished hand
1:58And the sky was like a furnace
2:02I could not see to stand
2:05Committed to it's emptiness
2:08The night rains sand
2:17I have seen the starlight fading
2:20Into echoes on the floor
2:23And I dreamed the stars parading
2:26Like tin soldiers on the shore
2:30The city casts no shadow now
2:33At midnight all the whores
2:37Come out and dance with darkness
2:40And the night rains pour
2:44Come out and dance with darkness
2:47And the night rains pour
I have seen the starlight fading Into echoes on the floor And I dreamed the stars parading Like tin soldiers on the shore Well the city casts no shadow now At midnight all the whores Come out and dance with darkness And the night rains pour Moonbeams gather dust The cobwebs rust into the ground Windows stare at the open air And the sparrows dare to drown Death becomes a debutante Stranded in her gown Branded like a leper And the night rains down By morning all the debutantes And the virgins have their fill It's a signal to the vagabonds Who come in for the kill Me I must be lucky now For the sky is with me still It's written on the wind That the night rains chill I dreamed the sun was falling Into darkness and I ran Into the night was endless Slipping through my famished hand And the sky was like a furnace I could not see to stand Committed to it's emptiness The night rains sand I have seen the starlight fading Into echoes on the floor And I dreamed the stars parading Like tin soldiers on the shore The city casts no shadow now At midnight all the whores Come out and dance with darkness And the night rains pour Come out and dance with darkness And the night rains pour
