"Dark Waltz" lyrics

"Dark Waltz"

When you penetrate the empty sound of the rain with all your being
Said you never knew such rapture could stop your tiny eyes from seeing (when I wasn't there)

When you turn out for fun but someone's playing a part that someone else is reading (when I wasn't there)
Down hotel corridor room 44 before your harm [heart?] was bleeding

Oh, all over it
Feels like never again
When you penetrate the empty sound of the rain
(When I wasn't...)

When you orchestrate a breakout through the emerging surge of bleak ideas (when I wasn't there)
And overhead the camera's idiot gaze, it just blinks and leers (when I wasn't there)
When you apprehend the weekend that just ended has been gone for years (when I wasn't there)

Oh, all over it
Feels like never again
When you penetrate the empty sound of the rain

When you live and die and laugh and cry all in the space of a second (when I wasn't there)
When you hit the subtotal on your bill and still it was all so much more than you reckoned (when I wasn't there)
When you stumble on the path of tears don't crumble now that future has beckoned

Oh, all over it
Feels like never again

Oh, all over it
Feels like never again
When you penetrate the empty sound

Oh, all over it
Feels like never again
When you penetrate the empty sound of the rain

Oh, all over it
Feels like never again
When you penetrate the empty sound of the rain
(When I wasn't there) [repeated to end]
