Go easy on your promises
And charity shown to clowns
Chansons d'amour are rising
on the other side of town
(chorus)
Listen to the music fade away
Blessed by a broken wand
Today has passed forever
Tomorrow will be too long
Somewhere a tide of harder eyes
brings guns to bridal suites
The interrupted lovers
stand and shiver in floodlit streets
(chorus)
The tears of the devil have
burned the seeds of pity
Radiation leads them
To the heart of a dying city
