The Legendary Pink Dots - City Ghosts lyrics
[The Legendary Pink Dots - City Ghosts lyrics]
There was a time
A time for secrets we'd walk together
In the forest, hand in hand we'd look uneasy
Cold and pallid then we'd find some magic
Mushrooms and we'd skip across the clouds
We danced for the old gods
Danced for the new gods, danced for the ones
We never heard about danced for the old
Days, danced for the new ways
Danced for the face no-one talks about
Tonight I feel nostalgic
Feeling happy and the powder in my pocket's
Crying Eat me! Eat me! Eat me!
Could be my age, I could be going crazy
'Cause I know you feel the same way
I can see it in your eyes
I got my crown
I got my scepter letters on my
Buttons spell Napoleon i'll give you
Money, give you power
I'll give you a palace in the Amazon
Do you think that they'll lock
Us away? Padded cells
Packet-soup on alternate
Days? Maybe we should behave in
A normal way face facts, face the real world
A shadow rests, suggests no
Entry a tramp complains
Collapses weeping gently a figure smiles and
Shines a blade discretely and
The drains ad-libbed a soundtrack as
He picked his victim out
He sang in the rain, he
Danced in the thunder, bowed as we bellowed
From the balcony stepped on a hand
Set fire to a handbag
Slipped as the sparks skipped
Across his knees
The song decayed in suit's of amber coughing
As they burned in glowing embers
A priest held up his hands, said
It's over we nodded wisely
Scooped the ash and cast it to the wind
We played in the neon, bade out the paeons
Slobbering in
Tongues to the subway gods just
Like the old days
Rituals and red wine hair all
Tangled and covered in
Blood do you think that they'll lock us away?
A time for secrets we'd walk together
In the forest, hand in hand we'd look uneasy
Cold and pallid then we'd find some magic
Mushrooms and we'd skip across the clouds
We danced for the old gods
Danced for the new gods, danced for the ones
We never heard about danced for the old
Days, danced for the new ways
Danced for the face no-one talks about
Tonight I feel nostalgic
Feeling happy and the powder in my pocket's
Crying Eat me! Eat me! Eat me!
Could be my age, I could be going crazy
'Cause I know you feel the same way
I can see it in your eyes
I got my crown
I got my scepter letters on my
Buttons spell Napoleon i'll give you
Money, give you power
I'll give you a palace in the Amazon
Do you think that they'll lock
Us away? Padded cells
Packet-soup on alternate
Days? Maybe we should behave in
A normal way face facts, face the real world
A shadow rests, suggests no
Entry a tramp complains
Collapses weeping gently a figure smiles and
Shines a blade discretely and
The drains ad-libbed a soundtrack as
He picked his victim out
He sang in the rain, he
Danced in the thunder, bowed as we bellowed
From the balcony stepped on a hand
Set fire to a handbag
Slipped as the sparks skipped

The song decayed in suit's of amber coughing
As they burned in glowing embers
