Marc Almond - Brilliant Creatures lyrics

rate me

I lost you in the great big city

You gave me your number

But fate, she closed her eyes

And the wind blew it away

I know you're sometimes at a bar

But I can't recall the name

You could have called

I'm sure you have a story

And you're not to blame

In time the tears will come

And the memory of you will hurt inside

I know life must go on

And I won't see you again

And life goes...

Oh oh oh

Oh, oh oh oh

I'll cry tomorrow baby

Oh oh oh

Oh, oh oh oh

But tonight I'm gonna dance

Brilliant creatures

We were brilliant creatures

Bitterness is a pure feeling

Makes me feel that life's worth living

And when the pain becomes too much

I'll turn and walk away

Just standing in the rain

I'll take the romance of the night

I'm not gonna waste my time

I've got a life to live

And life goes...

Oh oh oh

Oh, oh oh oh

I'll cry tomorrow baby

Oh oh oh

Oh, oh oh oh

But tonight I'm gonna dance

Am I still in your heart

Or do I shed my tears for nothing

Do you think of me at all

Tell me that it all means something

I could wait for you to call

But when tomorrow never seems to come

I'll close my heart to you

Promises, I've heard them all before

Outside the snow is falling

In my heart a voice is calling

Time to end the story

Turn and walk away

Remember that we were brilliant creatures

Flaming creatures

For a fleeting moment in a dream

And life goes on
