The Beautiful Dead
The crowd was one (oblivion ran deep)
A consciousness of cannon-fodder walking in its sleep
Vacant expressions (and don't look ahead)
Everybody dance with the beautiful dead I said!
All queue up and gravel for a hit
SOmeone pulls the reins then you chew at the bit
Encouraged by commercials to spend beyond my means
I laughed as it all fell apart at the seams
(Hey! Take a look at tomorrow)
But will I inherit the good green earth?
Such a lovely world
All mod-cons there was dust on the drums
My electronic beat-box got the job done
Everybody emulate the pulse of the soul
And change your clothes (to make you feel whole)
Effort and sweat was a thing of the past (they said!)
Welcome to the world of the beautiful dead
No, No, No Part 2
Catch a falling memory girl,
Hold and hold it to your heart,
If you believe in prayers and dreams,
Then i swear just breathe and i will be there,
somewhere in the rain,
That's where you'll find me,
Some where in the rain thats where i'll be.
Stop did you whisper girl,
say, say you need me now,
if storms begin to stay,
and clouds are turning grey,
i'll breathe and blow them away,
in the rain thats where you'll find my,
in the rain thats where i'll be.
