lyrics

the weight of the morning with its expectation, seems to much to bear
the tide it is turning back and forth but i couldn't care
but the promise of the night makes it all seem worth the while
but lately there's been no charm about it
yeah lately there's been no mystery about it

this bar reeks just like any other , of wall to wall scum and bloodsuckers
and the face that's been shaping my dreams ain't likely to show ,so i think i'll leave
but oh no there she stood in her stilettos and her reaper's hood
but lately there ain't been all that much about her
yeah her beauty and grace are draining from her

but I said
#hey lover. is there space for me at the back of ur car
hey lover could i stick my head in between ur breasts and stay there
until the end or time or tonight ....
cos i cant stand the light

hey mr matador shalala ur luck's run out
ur shiny suit wont protect ur soul from Diablo's horns yeah he's got u now
but no... wait.. it looks so staged
yeah just a phantom punch and a quick escape
cos lately there's been this peaceful look about u
like u sealed a deal with the forces that would torment u

and that night with a kiss on the lips ,she smiled at me and she walked away
saying time paints different masks upon us , we've got no control and we've got no say
and we can't help but sail apart ,and sail toward more open hearts
but lately paradise seems so empty
yea her body is just as hollow as her eyes seem

## and hey lover i was thinking of u when i shot my self
and hey lover were u thinking of me when u were givin head
to some bastard on the city's edge
who left ya bleedin at the foot of ur bed
in a pool of blood just cos u said
that u remembered that night
when we escaped the light ...
when we escaped the light
