A Cloud Of Mystery
Calm those vowels down No one's thinking of you right now She's dressed up It's her duty to the town It's empty, it's fast but it imposes it's will In a crowded room Her painted features smothered in the gloom Already resigned At night she strips Away the face that she creates The mirror sighs Why can't we always meet Under a cloud of mystery The noise traveled a hundred miles Working through memories Big budget, showbiz exit She'll go far Acting coy was her favorite ploy It quickly loses it's charm The frosted cheek You turned will add to your mystique He burns for you SongtexteI flew myself into your world Only to come up short Why can't we always meet Under a cloud of mystery The noise traveled a hundred miles Working through memories Keep for a Thursday afternoon Before a time when you withdrew Why can't we always meet Under a cloud of mystery Bathroom lights start the evening Where the buildings skim the air Hairsprayed curls brush the cheek As they swoon on a wooden dance floor There's nothing worse than taking a chance On an outdated dance Why can't we always meet Under a cloud of mystery The noise traveled a hundred miles Cursing through memory Came for a Thursday afternoon Before the time that you withdrew Why can't we always meet Under a cloud of mystery (Thanks to Maximo for these lyrics) Aus Songtexte Mania
