Colours Run - Beautiful Waste Of Time lyrics

We step out into the decadent decay

To stir the languor of our love

And when we kiss, you turn your tired eyes away

Trapped in the mirror hung above

Sometimes I'm glad I've only got one life to waste

You are the needle in my arm

And though I'm dying, I have such a pretty time

You do me harm

Come on, do me harm

It's a lovely waste, such a beautiful waste

You're a wonderful waste of time

And I could lose my mind in your pointless embrace

Such a beautiful waste of time

Every night's a fight for life

The finest food, the driest wines

Don't stop the music, keep on dancing as we sink

Shot holes beneath the waterline

And I can only speak in metaphors

As I watch the horde assail the walls

Oh my darling, close your eyes and let's pretend

That we're not here at all

It's a lovely waste, such a beautiful waste

You're a wonderful waste of time

And I could lose my mind to your pointless debates

Such a beautiful waste of time

In moonlit shoes, I buried all my clocks

I meant to sieze the day

But somehow I forgot

Could be a king if I could just wake up

I wrote the book

On how to lose the plot

I love you girl, but you tie me up in knots

Keep tripping on your violins and handcuffs

You're a lovely waste, such a beautiful waste

You're a wonderful waste of time

And I could lose my mind in your pointless embrace

Such a beautiful waste of time

Maybe one fine day, I could light up the stage

Where the bells of escape still chime

But not tonight, cos I still can't tear my face away

From this beautiful waste of time
