dying on a bed of roses in the middle of the night
woke up in a cold
dark basement looking through candlelights
up all night
silly kid come crashing down
like a ghost of a thousand miles crawling over me
here's to falling off the world's dark side
drifted it alone on a morning's tide
riding on an all-night train through a crystal gate
when the moonlight shines a path for a brighter day
when the ballrooms are all banging and the evening is so still
could you see it in your heart to let me in?
did he hand you the reigns of the morning news?
he lulled you asleep 'til the aussie cat mews
when the leaves from the trees come crashing down
when the seasons don't change
they're spinning around
here's to falling off the world's dark side
drifted it alone on a morning's tide
riding on an all-night train through a crystal gate
when the moonlight shines a path for a brighter day
when the ballrooms are all banging and the evening is so still
could you see it in your heart to let me in?
let me in
