The Cure - Short Term Effect lyrics

Movement, no movement, just a falling bird
Cold as it hit's the bleeding ground
He lived and died, catch sight
Cover me with earth
Draped in black, static white sound

A day without substance, a change of thought
An atmosphere that rots with time
Colours that flicker in water
A short term effect

Scream as she tries to push him over
Helpless and sick
With teeth of madness, jump, jump
Dance and sing sideways across the desert
A charcoal face bites my hand time is sweet
Derange and disengage everything

A day without substance, a change of thought
The atmosphere rots with time
Colours that flicker in water
A short term effect a short term effect

An echo and a stranger's hand
A short term effect
An echo and a stranger's hand
A short term effect
