New Year (1984)

Monday evening
waiting for your sweet release
I paid you for it
Your dark end
Unravels softly
Fascination accidentally

Shadows I would steal
Broke you up like a kiss face down
Lined you with timeless surround
Lost your fame and fortune swings
Ugliness pretty things

Started with a kiss
Now it's come to this

Bleach white
Seconds after midnight
Paranoia
Daylight
Till you're coming down, coming down

Blackout
Isolation carried out
Desperation
Freak out
Till you're coming down, coming down

A desperate pose and the way it shows
You were torn without your clothes
Your broken heart never came from me
Hidden cuts are a mystery

Spinning from within
You don't care for anything

Bleach white
Seconds after midnight
Paranoia
Daylight
Till you're coming down, coming down

Blackout
Isolation carried out
Desperation
Freak out
Till you're coming down, coming down

Just because I understand you
Doesn't mean that I don't hate you

Across the street you crawled
And tripped a chalk line fall
And the sound of the dead time on your right wrist
and the terrified feelings on your blank fingertips

Did you know me when you were living free
And did you know me when we were living free

Bleach white, midnight, paranoia, daylight
Blackout, carried out, desperation freak out

So long
