Lyrics
All the things you said that you need
All flew away from me
And the places you go in your dreams
Are all fantasies
The woman you love just stood up from her theater seat
Confused and detained by all the tragedy
The sounds and the images that she's just seen
Up there on the movie screen all seem obscene
The woman
Who made up her mind
Has forgotten
What she decided
And the lover
Who comforts your nights has been
Dreaming up a better way to die
And the world plays out
In a blur of black and white
You were drunk at the funeral again
Nobody recognized
You were dreaming of grayscale violins
Her lips were colorized
The woman you love had a sweet taste on her tongue
It was a drug, but you took it in when her song was sung
She was a poet dissecting the parts of your sum
And she introduced you to her opium
The woman
Who made up your mind
Has decided
Who gets to use her words
The mistress
Who wakes you at night is now
Getting out of bed to leave
She's nothing like the devil
That leaves you while you sleep
