lyrics

How many dates in others’ slumber lakes
While life goes on somewhere and surf goes mad
The spring has sprung from rooftops’ frozen flakes,
A spinster smitten with a younger lad

My morning comes right where your sleep has waned
Where you caress the skies with hands so small
The statues laugh that grimly stand, detained
And you are shouting to yourself: girl, stall

The merciless hands of love
The electric chair
Lit up.

Please tell me who? One question bound to fail
He follows you – can tell by looking back
The trains of rainclouds rush to get derailed
And stars do squint to see them come off track

Forgive you me, I’ve seen what’s really there
There ice grows thin and filthy bridges span
Make one step forward – catch revenge unfair
As darkness’ bounty turns to drunkard’s rant

The merciless hands of love
The electric chair
Lit up.

crystal-clear sound.
