lyrics

Oh what's the use in pretending
You don't see that hanging noose
Swinging from that willow tree
A tangled web we weave
Around what we refuse to believe
Don't mistake your blues for ennui
Will you cut me loose and set me free
Or will you leave me hanging?

Perhaps this what I was wishing for
I say to myself as I shove
The genie back in the lamp
Strange to find you here alone in the end
Falling down that trap door again

Oh the decay
Reach out and touch me
Reach out and touch me
Catch me I'm falling


Tick tock the clock
Is going round
But you're moving backwards
Into the ground unwound
Don't let it drag you down
Holy ist thou sound
Of the oblivion bound
You who were so lost
Like a king without a crown
A martyr climbing up his cross
Just as its falling down
A lamb will leave its flock
To not be found
And I will be left hanging...

Perhaps this is what I was wishing for
I say to myself as I shove
The genie back in the lamp
Strange to find you here alone in the end
Falling down that trap door again

Oh the decay
Reach out and touch me
Reach out and touch me
Catch me I'm falling
