"Noriega" lyrics

When the street lights go out
And the shadows come to play
And the black eyes caress
A shivered pulse to penetrate

It's a painless intrusion for a painless solution
And it holds the blessed crown
There's a price on Heaven and the weight of its gold
Won't save you while you drown

Lead them in
Line them up
Hold your breath
Watch them

When the nightmares take hold
Leaving dreamers on their knees
All the hope, faith and trust
Hanging shattered on the breeze

Hear the tick tick tock of the killing clock
'Cause it's time to make some sense
With the hands we shake and the deals we make
With the devils in ourselves

Lead them in
Line them up
Hold your breath
Watch them fall

Lead them in
Line them up
Hold your breath
Watch them

Open up your eyes and face the truth
Watch the tape play back to see the proof
Spin the ribbons around your neck and choke
Or take a breath to help you find your hope

Open up your eyes and face the truth
Watch the tape play back to see the proof
Spin the ribbons around your neck and choke
Or take a breath to help you find your hope

Open up your eyes and face the truth
Watch the tape play back to see the proof
