Marillion - Waterhole lyrics

(fish / marillion)<br><br>When the taxis gather in mock solemnity<br>Funeral hearses court the death of virginity<br>Was it paradise lost or paradise found? <br>Did we gain respect or were we holding ground? <br>You had found true love, or so you believed<br>And the wideboys tattooed your hearts upon their sleeves<br><br>So when you think it's time to go, when you think it's time to go<br>Don't be surprised, the heroes never show<br><br>And the patter merchants selling false impressions<br>Tipping eyes at the waitress with american expressions<br>Tie angels to the bar with sweet martini's and their charms<br>They're lying on every word and every arm<br>They're turning down their noses to the best lines<br>And the cheap wines<br><br>And the wideboys<br>They wear their lovebites for their crimes<br><br>So when you think it's time to go, when you think it's time to go<br>Don't be surprised, the heroes never show
