Marc Almond - Sleeping Beauty lyrics
[Marc Almond - Sleeping Beauty lyrics]
City of decaying dreams
Where under pink skies gold spires gleam
Glitter like a dying fire
Daring the angels to fly higher
Galina dances under red stars
Throwing kisses to the dead Czars
Shoulders of a million souls
Keep afloat the city
Memories of a million men that died
Just keep her pretty
Galina dances on the red stars
Throwing kisses to the dead Czars
And the soldiers do their duty
In the thighs of sleeping beauty
Where the Czars took a trip
Hallucinogenic sinking ship
Down sad canals and endless streets
Dark canyons where lovers meet
Galina dances under red stars
Throwing kisses to the dead Czars
And the soldiers do their duty
In the thighs of sleeping beauty
A wedding cake slowly decaying
Fading as the band is playing
A dancer swirls in her torn dresses
Sleeping Beauty now confesses
Sins of the dead princesses
Where the powers of the world meet
Kneeling at an icons feet
Dancing in our drunken dreams
Here nothing is quite as it seems
Where under pink skies gold spires gleam
Glitter like a dying fire
Daring the angels to fly higher
Galina dances under red stars
Throwing kisses to the dead Czars
Shoulders of a million souls
Keep afloat the city
Memories of a million men that died
Just keep her pretty
Galina dances on the red stars
Throwing kisses to the dead Czars
And the soldiers do their duty
In the thighs of sleeping beauty
Where the Czars took a trip
Hallucinogenic sinking ship
Down sad canals and endless streets
Dark canyons where lovers meet
Galina dances under red stars
Throwing kisses to the dead Czars
And the soldiers do their duty
In the thighs of sleeping beauty
A wedding cake slowly decaying
Fading as the band is playing
A dancer swirls in her torn dresses
Sleeping Beauty now confesses
Sins of the dead princesses
Where the powers of the world meet
Kneeling at an icons feet
Dancing in our drunken dreams
Here nothing is quite as it seems
