Many marionettes Dripping from your fingers Grinning, mesmerized The foolish ones, they linger
Dancing to your time Rattling to your metronome Painted and gilded Lamed to the bone
All your parlour games Spellbinding patterns in their brains
Sucking your cheroot Worshipping your photograph Like a peepshow prostitute A voyeuristic phonograph
Masque grotesques Performing pirouettes Shadowy silhouettes Ghastly rictus smiles Sickly in the gaslight Finally extinguishing memories of a past life
You sold your soul So long ago Paid in silver Let the candle blow And on your own
With your reflection You spread the cards But you never find the fool
Spinning your web, your ectoplasmic ball of gloss Handing around your sweetly poisoned candy floss
To the dolls of your desire Come hither, come higher Stand closer to my fire Surrender, surrender To the kiss of the abyss.Teksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
