Dancing Like a Gun
Oh do you get the smell of burning metal?Can you feel that heartbeat under the sea?Well it's just me and Oppenheimer waltzingWith crowded streets in chromakeyAnd all the glow boys in their lipstick and shadowsAnd gold leaf on their delicate skinsWell they can filter through your curtains like nerve-gasThey leave their laughter on the windAnd we're dancingYes we're dancingWe're dancing like a gunNothing I can see looks like an exitSo I'm making you into a doorYou've been a guaranteed constant companion for so longI'll almost miss you when I goAnd there's silence in your silver passingAnd stardust scattered over your breastsThen I looked around and foundAll the faces of the worldAs the ballroom floor gets fused to glass And we're dancingSongtexteYes we're dancingWe're dancing like a gunWe'll walk in the silent placesIn the wake of the stormsSwim through our own cathedralTrailing the dawn...Dresses of light and ashesProud in displayLovers and enemiesAll waltzing in the waves...Oh we're dancingYes we're dancingWe're dancing like a gunLike a gun
