Marc Almond - The Plague lyrics

I've spent many a night lying on my back
Waiting for the dawn to pierce and crack
And the ceiling hanging from the sky
And I envy the boy who grabbed the toy
And ran away and found a joy
While I stood in the shadows wondering why
Flying towards me then he laughs
A woman's face the terrible taste
Of the morning after kisses and goodbyes
I could never seem to catch my footsteps
Have desires, they fly away
Every day I have to fight the plague

How can I sleep in hours like this
When anguish tracks me like a fist
My nakedness exposed, I can't stand
Still Itry to remember lips on lips
Hips on hips and ice on fire
In gloom and glow
When did they leave the man

In the mirror of the night I see
A face that staring out at me
Like a fallen star burned it'self out
Like a deadly scrapes across the ground
My voice cried out in a gravelled sound
No one's there to hear me but the plague

Straining hard to see running after me
I keep pounding pounding on the door
But, it's all so vague
When you meet the plague and I keep coming
I keep coming back for more
