Testi

The Selkie hid her skin
To hide a world within
The weeds would waive in time
The prequel cast a line
The salted rock stood still
To break the swell at will
To sing in seas of sound
'Til human voices wake us and we drown
You don't have to feel afraid (feel afraid)
When the war is lost, the boatman paid (the boatman paid)
You swore you'd leave, but still you stayed (still you stayed)
The stage was set, the bed was made (the bed was made)
Whoever told you love was free? (Love was free)
Freedom, the price to live with ease (to live with ease)
The play will play out without me (ah)
(Da-da-da-dum)
(Da-da-da-dum, da-da-da-dum, da-da-da-dum)
(Da-da-da-dum)
(Da-da-da-dum, da-da-da-dum, da-da-da-dum)
(Da-da-da-dum)
(Da-da-da-dum, da-da-da-dum, da-da-da-dum)
(Da-da-da-dum)
(Da-da-da-dum, da-da-da-dum, da-da-da-dum)
When the understudy died
I took the role, I learnt the lines
But did you watch my final scene?
In humid rooms labyrinthine
Deceiving windows and false doors
Fake exits lead to dead end halls
So I cut down that holy bush that might have been a tree
And like a moth burnt by the flame
Like a moth burnt by the flame
Like a moth burnt by the flame
Like a moth burnt by the flame
The play will play out without me (da-da-da-dum, da-da-da-dum, da-da-da-dum, da-da-da-dum)
The play will play out without me (da-da-da-dum, da-da-da-dum, da-da-da-dum, da-da-da-dum)
The play will play out without me (da-da-da-dum, da-da-da-dum, da-da-da-dum, da-da-da-dum)
The play will play out without me (da-da-da-dum, da-da-da-dum, da-da-da-dum, da-da-da-dum)
