Saddest Waltz

We had all the time in the world To watch the search-lights shine upon Your ramshackle boats as they drifted and dived Shame on our bitter hearts Empty as the promises we knew we'd never keep We waltzed while your cities burned Drank wine whilst you choked And i sang at the top of my voice We slept through your tragedies Safe behind our walls And pretended you were part of our world We had all the time in the world To stand silent as pirates sold off Sons and daughters like meat at the side of the Road We've become lonely satellites Distant from the real stars, new gods up on high We waltzed while your cities burned Drank wine whilst you choked And i sang at the top of my voice We slept through your tragedies Safe behind our walls And sent the next wolves to your door We had it easier than most Can't tell you why Everything we touch now is growing cold Now we tell you we told you so No better than the devils you know We waltzed while your cities burned Drank wine whilst you choked And i sang at the top of my voice We slept through your tragedies Safe behind our walls And pretended you were part of our world
