the apartments all look the same
i don't know why but i know who i blame
spider secrets on stage tonight
i'm a guillotine and i don't know why
fading out like a final storm
the words don't make sense any more
the pavements and lies are what i despise
you ran out of town with your cruel eyes
one, two, three (click)
one, two, three
one, two, three
one, two, three, four, oh
the black angel descends on the overcast sky
after that the apartment towers vanished
i made it back out of the room
to see outside now i know i'm doomed
her mannerisms really couldn't lie
as she ran out of town with her cruel eyes
hidden mystique: how you make it sound
i know what you're like, i know my way around
just doing some vocals then i'll leave again
this town is haunted, locals say
i'm you've been in my dreams please take it slow
i don't know where you want me to go
had some good ideas but they're all downstream
if you know what i know, you know what i mean
there's a gun that's loaded in the back of the car
you told me your name and i know where you are
there's one key feature i can recognise
it's your twisted grin, and your cruel eyes
you ran out of town with your cruel eyes
you ran out of town with your cruel eyes
you ran out of town with your cruel eyes
you ran out of town with your cruel eyes
you ran out of town with your cruel eyes
you ran out of town with your cruel eyes
you ran out of town with your cruel eyes
you ran out of town with your cruel eyes
you ran out of town with your cruel eyes
you ran out of town with your cruel eyes
you ran out of town with your cruel eyes
you ran out of town with your cruel eyes
ow, can you fucking stop
well how am i meant to know, it just, sort of, vanished
(am i meant to am i meant to am i meant to am i meant to)
ow, can you fucking stop
well how am i meant to know, it just, sort of, vanished
