Drmanhattan - Gunpowder: A Ballet lyrics

rate me

There's a graceful dance above me.<br />

From the sun reflecting in.<br />

Off the cars that pass below.<br />

Each with their own story within.<br />

And the dance moves<br />

They remind me of the times that I've walked in<br />

To a room and left with nothing<br />

Except the fear to walk back in.<br />

So I'll stay safe at my vantage. <br />

On occasion I'll peer in.<br />

You'll grow up out of the corner of my eyes<br />

Right next to him.<br />

You'll need help, you'll need attention.<br />

You're a captivate whim.<br />

But I'm a coward prone to quitting.<br />

I just make sure never to begin.<br />

<br />

The gunpowder between my teeth<br />

Lets me know that I've come clean<br />

It should be easy to say goodbye<br />

Since you won't be looking at me.<br />

<br />

I can see you through a window<br />

But the cracks keep you a blur.<br />

There's a victim in this story<br />

I wish to god that is was her.<br />

While I know I've your recognition<br />

It's of its nature I'm not sure.<br />

If I could ever push this question<br />

I'd shut my ears for the answer.
