Lyrics

You’re being watched, smile for the camera
Believe me, if I could, I would cover up
Idol on its face, dragging through the mud
Heroes in the crowd, still unsung
When we first met they were scared of us
We had made a name under you–know–what
The asphalt wouldn't hold me up
Stepping through the earth with a heavy heart
Hunted, the most wanted animals
Still carry butterflies like handguns
Run through the night as outlaws
Sleep through the day to avoid the sun
Wake in my jeans with my makeup on
Used to surf the train like a beach bum
With sand under my nails and black palms
Washed up on the rocks, like a cocktail
Soaking in fountain water
I'll be a sculpture, if I need
I'd rather be your boyfriend
Than your performer, but c’est la vie
And no applause, flowers or encores will save me from the guillotine
But I won't go, I promise, they’ll have to drag me by the feet
Many years ago we were criminals
Love is still the law, and its still corrupt
Used to go to sleep in handcuffs
Used to hang my feet off the tower block
Why do I still hurt myself so?
So used to seeing rainbow in petrol
Thats how I know I’m still in love
Hug the asphalt, still not close enough
If a crush is just a crush,
If the law doesn't care about us
And everything's just chemical
Then maybe I don't want to be stable
Soaking in fountain water
I'll be a sculpture, if I need
I'd rather be your boyfriend
Than your performer, but c’est la vie
And no applause, flowers or encores will save me from the guillotine
But I won't go, I promise, they’ll have to drag me by the feet
You know what..
I’ve been alone so long, but still wearing the veil.. (focus!)
Puddles on the ground, heart-shaped
Looking for the sky in the wet pavement
For romance in heartache
In-between the cars of the S-Train
Always in the Now, halfway
In-between the past and the ashtray
They’ll be the same, wont they?
The heart knows but it won’t say
Puddles on the ground, heart-shaped
Looking for the sky in the wet pavement
For romance in heartache
In-between the cars of the S-Train
Always in the Now, halfway
In-between the past and the ashtray
They’ll be the same, wont they?
The heart knows but it won’t say
Heart-shaped
The heart knows when its blood rain
The heart knows, no shade
The heart knows but it won’t say
