Burning Love - Damage Case

Текст песни

Ten to close and it’s always December
The cat drags in what time forgot to remember
I never forget this tattered number, You said
Haven’t you got anything a little stronger?
Stare into the void of you where time stands still and I know
There ain’t no modern man for you
Mesmerized by hollow eyes, not healthy I know
Applause long gone but here I’m hanging on every word
On the dark stage where the script stops
And the tragedy starts to show
Infatuation high
Fires rise in pinpoint eyes
Like something once beautiful, studied and objectified
Something old & spat out, you walk in. Oh where you been?
And what were you?
What was this promise that never came true?
Bit parts in forgotten frames, monologues still memorized
Incantations to turn back time
I looked you up, I watched them all
Same face same eyes as this reprise
They might be giants, they might be gods
Or just a damage case on a 30 year drunk
So check the gate
There ain’t no modern man for you
Mesmerized by hollow eyes, not healthy I know
The applause long gone but here I’m hanging on every word
On the tightrope where the script stops
And the desperation starts to show
