Roland Orzabal - Snowdrop lyrics

The writing on the wall changes everyday

Moving the lights about

We live by stealth alone

By simple truths - that's our philosophy

Oh what a perfect day - stretch it out forever

With flowers for your grave

A snowdrop for your soul

Down on your knees and pray

May lightning strike your bones

The devil makes his own pornography

Oh what a cross to bear

Freaking out completely

You locked yourself away

Now you're dead inside

You dug yourself a grave

Now you're dead inside

The promises you made

Were all dead inside

The calm before the storm

The bitter taste of mediocrity

Turning you inside out

I'm waiting in the wings

No news of joy - just more hypocrisy

Oh what a strange affair

We belong together

You locked yourself away

Now you're dead inside

You dug yourself a grave

Now you're dead inside

The promises you made

Were all dead inside

You made your bed

Now lie in it - dead inside

You locked yourself away

Now you're dead inside

You dug yourself a grave

Now you're dead inside

The promises you made

Were all dead inside

You made your bed

Now lie in it - dead inside
