P.M. Dawn - If You Never Say Goodbye
Legs of a calf the head of a man
Eyes on a camera shaking
everyone's hand
Vultures circle
and smack their lips
The sky goes black
as the lightning rips
The stars are mute
the moon without pity
As waves of blood rolled over the city
It's not a rehearsal
or special effects
It's the end of the story
it's what happens next
And I say and I say
It's coming any second
In the blink of an eye
And I say and I say
With a bang and a whimper
And I say it's okay
If you never say goodbye
Son of a child son of a beast
as it slouches and slithers
It's way from the feast
I dreamt a dream
but what could it mean
Angels in love devour the Queen
All the people danced
tore at their clothes
The sky grew fire
and the oceans froze
It wasn't a fable it wasn't a hoax
It was seventeen devils speaking of jokes
And I say and I say
It's coming any second
And I say and I say
In the blink of an eye
And I say and I say
With a bang and a whimper
And I say it's okay
If you never say goodbye
I saw a chapel made of gold
The light was so blue
and the air was so cold
Terrible sound on a microphone
As the rats kept rhythm
on chicken bones
People wept swallowed their jewels
Entered like soldiers
departing as fools
It isn't a sentence
it's not a reward
It's a black parachute
with a noose for a cord
And I say and I say
It's coming any second
And I say and I say
In the blink of an eye
And I say and I say
With a bang and a whimper
And I say it's okay
If you never say goodbye
And I say it's okay
If you never say goodbye
And I say it's okay
If you never say goodbye
And I say it's okay
If you never say goodbye
And I say it's okay
If you never say goodbye
And I say it's okay
