Cure, The

i've been watching me fall for it seems like years
watching me grow small, i watch me disappear
slipping out my ordinary world, out my ordinary eyes
yeah slipping out the ordinary me into someone else's life
into someone else's life...

there's a thin white cold new moon and the snow is coming down
and the neon bright tokyo lights flicker through the crowd
i've been drifting around for hours and i'm lost and i'm tired
when a whisper in my ear insatiable breathes
"why don't you follow me inside?..."

yeah the room is small, the room is bright
her hair is black, the bed is white
and the night is always young
is always young... always young
the night is always young...

yeah i've been seeing them strip to the bone in the mirror on the wall
seeing her swallow him whole like it's not me at all
she holds out her hands and i follow her down to my knees
and the sucking inside insatiable smiles
"you will forget yourself in me..."

yeah the room is small, the room is bright
her eyes are black, the bed is white
and the night is always young
and the night goes on and on
and the night is always young
and the night is never over and over and over and over and over...

and this it's gone
and this it's gone
yeah then it's gone

yeah it's a cruel mean cold new day and outside the snow is still coming down
and in the blood red tokyo bed i watch me coming round
she pulled him down for hours
deeper than i've ever been
and as i fall in the mirror on the wall
i'm watching me scream
i'm watching me scream
i'm watching me scream

i'm watching me scream

yeah i've been watching me go for it must be years
watching me get slow, i watch me disappear
and one day, yeah i know, i won't come back at all...
and always over and over in his ordinary eyes
i'm watching me fall
i'm watching me fall
i'm watching me fall

i'm watching me fall

"Don't look, don't look", the shadows breathe,
Whispering me away from you,
"Don't wake an eye to watch her sleep,
And know that you will always sleep."

This trembling drone,
Dazzled burn like gold

Everynight I burn,
Everynight I call your name,
Everynight I burn,
Everynight I fall again.

"Don't talk of love", the shadows burn,
Murmuring me away from you,
"Don't talk of worlds that never were:
An end is all that's ever true.
There's nothing you can ever say;
There's nothing you can ever do."

Still, everynight I burn,
Everynight I scream your name,
Everynight I burn,
Evernight the dream's the same.
Everynight I burn,
Waiting for my only friend,
Enerynight I burn,
Waiting for the world to end.

"Just paint your face", the shadows smile,
Slipping me away from you,
"It doesn't matter how you hide,
We'll find you if we're wanting to.
So slide back down and close your eyes,
Sleep awhile you must be tired."

Everynight I burn,
Everynight I call your name,
Everynight I burn,
Everynight I fall again.
Everynight I burn,
And scream the animal scream,
Everynight I burn,
And dream the crow-black dream,
Everynight I burn,
And scream the animal scream,
Everynight I burn,
And dream the crow-black dream,

For a second of your life
Tell me that it's true
Waiting for a sign
It's all I want of you
Your heart hides a secret
A promise of what is
Something more than this

Just a second of your time
Anyone will do
A taste of any other
Is all I want from you
Offer me the world
And how can I resist
Something more than this

Make believe in magic
Make believe in dreams
Make believe impossible
Nothing as it seems
See, touch, taste, smell, hear
But never know if it's real
(Never know if it's real)

For a second of your life
Tell me if it's true
Anywhere we are
It's all I want of you
your lips lies a secret
A promise of a kiss
Of something more than this

Just a second of your time
Anyone will do
To know any other
Is all I want from you
Giving me the world
Now I can't resist
Something more than this

Make believe in magic
Make believe in dreams
Make believe impossible
Nothing as it seems
Never really understand
What anything means
(What anything means)

Another second of my life
Not knowing if it's true
Make believe in nothing
Is all I want of you
Whisper me a secret
Whisper me there is
Always something other
Something more than this

Let me take you on a trip
Around the world and back
And you won't have to move
You just sit still

Now let your mind do the walking
And let my body do the talking
Let me show you the world in my eyes

I'll take you to the highest mountain
To the depths of the deepest sea
And we won't need a map
Believe me

Now let my body do the moving
And let my hands do the soothing
Let me show you the world in my eyes

That's all there is
Nothing more than you can feel now
That's all there is

Let me put you on a ship
On a long, long trip
Your lips close to my lips

All the islands in the ocean
All the heaven's in motion
Let me show you the world in my eyes

That's all there is
Nothing more than you can touch now
That's all there is

Let me show you the world in my eyes
