Lyrics
I'd like to deconstruct this mystery of you. But you never stay long enough for me to find out what is true. You're guarded in your elegance, your mind so well rehearsed. But you barely sip your wine my dear, is there something more you thirst. And every night I watch you walk away, my heart knows so much better, but my soul wants you to stay.
By day your eyes are blue, by night, your eyes go black.
They pierce with a distant longing, silent words that you can't take back. And I long to look into them. But then the world disappears, can you see all my fears, how amusing. And then I watch you walk out through that door, but not without the smile I've seen a thousand times before. And I don't know why your beauty makes me sad. Am I in love with confusion or another illusion or just something I can't have.
So what do you propose to break this silent mode of plastic space. Put the needle on the vinyl, deep purple me into your embrace if that's the case, if that's the case, if that's the case, I'll take a little taste of heaven.
And every night I watch you walk away, my heart knows so much better, but my soul wants you to stay.
