CORRECT LYRICS
Lyrics : Magician*
When the smoke clears, what is left?
Goodbye, goodbye
You drop a kid in gasoline
And give him a lit match
And you slap him on the a**
When he lights himself aflame
Like the man who pays his wife
Two hundred pounds to have sex
Because it's the only way he can come
Like the girl, born a princess
Too early or too late
Who waits and waits and knows she'll never be the queen
What's left?
The senile cat's incessant meow
The childrеn's favorite canned cow
The soundtrack of an unkеpt house
The soundtrack of an abandoned spouse
What's left?
The whirring cogs of futile despair
The anguish of unanswered prayers
The writhing ma** of moaning torment
What's left?
Doctor murphy strikes again
I join the ranks of the superfluous men
? still dies alone
Doctor murphy ??? unknown
Doctor murphy strikes a-gain
I join the ranks of the soon to be??
?
?
What is left?
What is left?
What is left?
I'm hiding from the government
And my fictional wife
From my dreams and from my memories
I am running from my life
I'm hiding from you, I'm hiding from you
I'm hiding from my mistress
And her dream sextets
I’m hiding from my family
I’m hiding from the explanations
Of all I’ve been doing wrong
I'm running from your lips
I'm running from your mouth
I’m hiding from your room
I’m hiding from doubt
I’m hiding from living
I’m hiding from everything
When did I meet you?
Maybe two years ago
So much has happened since
You were a million fears ago
So many since have taken your place
A million more things to keep me awake
I don't sleep any more
I just rest my eyes
I'm running from your lips
I'm running from your cries
Your convulsions that crack
The crust of the earth
Your pantomime moans
So forced, so rehearsed
You're the first I call
I hate the sound of your voice
I hate the words you use
The phrases you think choice
I hate the mask you wear
Because I've worn it so many times before
I’m hiding from you
I’m hiding from you
I’m hiding from you
I’m hiding from you
In the German black forest of which I know nothing
I dream you ride a black horse
Back and forth
Back and forth
Back and forth
With no compa** to follow
Or landmark to reach
You perambulate aimlessly through nondescript trees
In the nondescript forest
Of which I know nothing
And can't visualize
Save your faint silhouette
I can't see your face
It's ?? In the forest
It's blocked by ?? Of your horse
And I clutch and it evades
I wake from the dream
No, no, none of it’s true
I don’t sleep, I don’t sleep!
I wander through cowardice, thought
And regret
Through nothingness, through sagas
That never took place
Your kiss, never given
Your touch, never felt
Your words, never spoken
Your kiss, never dealt
Your lies, all around
Your deceit, infinite
I’m hiding from your never ending torrent of sh*t
Like the spouse happily married
That still dies alone
Like the world famous actor
Who's still completely unknown
Like the German black forest
You’re nothing to me but a name
I don't know anything about you??
You're nothing but a name
And it’s only an invocation?
That makes me play the game
Of dreaming that I want you, dreaming that I need you
Dreaming that I love you
?
I don't give a f**k about you
I'm hiding from you
I'm hiding from you
I'm hiding from you
And what’s left of the lover
Who doesn’t exist?
Who knows not how many fantasies
Involve her kiss?
And what’s left of the dreamer
Who dreams, and dreams, and dreams and dreams…
And who thinks he isn’t dreaming
Thinks that he is free
And what of the endless, heedless, needless are we
Will it end
Will it ever let me be?
No, When the smoke clears, it rains, it pours
When it rains, it pours
When it rains, it pours
?? it’s all a f**king ?
When the smoke clears, what's left?
?
