lyrics

The city stars on the ceiling tonight are dancing a brand new waltz
They shine in your bright eyes and jump to the walls
and spin right back out to the street
And then it's you and me and we pick up our feet
and one, two, three step to the balcony
And I hold you close and I dip you low as I put my lips to your mouth

And you never looked so good to me as you do tonight
And you know I don't believe in happy endings,
but your lips and this honey sure are convincing.
Think I might lay my weapons down (x4)

And I wonder if the keeper of time resents his relentlessness
I wonder if his hands are bound
and if his tears are the sound of the rain falling down
But we smile and we say to him bring on the years
as our drinks dilute on the rail
And you take me inside and you tell me the words
you know I needed to hear

And you never looked so good to me as you do tonight
And you know you're my happy ending
as you take off my wet metal mail
and you lay it down with my weapons (x4)

It is emotion.
It is satire.
It is art.
It is infinite.
It is.
As I wish to be. ... more
