WHERE HAS EVERYONE GONE
WERE THE POETS JUST LIONS
DID THEY STRING US ALONG?
THERE'S NO FOOD ON THE TABLE
NO WINE IN THE GLASS
NEVER WALK AWAY HUNGERY
JUST SAVOUR TO THE LAST
AND OH WE DANCE IN THE NIGHT
'NEATH THE MANTLE OF THE MOON
AND OH TAKE SOME JOY IN THIS LIFE
WHICH MAY LEAVE US TOO SOON
AND IF SOMONE SHOULD ASK YOU
TO JUST GIVE IT AWAY
ALL YOUR WORLDLY POSSESSIONS
WELL WHAT WOULD YOU SAY?
LIKE A SKILL OF AN ACTOR
THAT'S SUPPOSED TO LOOK REAL
AND THE CAMERAS KEEP ROLLING
AND THEIR KISS HE BARELY STEALS
AND OH WE DANCE IN THE NIGHT
'NEATH THE MANTLE OF THE MOON
AND OH TAKE SOME JOY IN THIS LIFE
WHICH MAY LEAVE US TOO SOON
AND SO IT IS WRITTEN
THAT THE FIRST SHALL BE LAST
WHEN ALL SINS ARE FORGIVEN
AND PUT IN THE PAST
BUT JUSTICE RINGS HOLLOW
SHE IS DEAF, DUMB AND BLIND
BEST DEPEND ON THE MERCIES
OF THE STRANGERS THAT YOU FIND
AND OH WE DANCE IN THE NIGHT
'NEATH THE MANTLE OF THE MOON
AND OH TAKE SOME JOY IN THIS LIFE
WHICH MAY LEAVE US TOO SOON
AND OH WE DANCE IN THE NIGHT
'NEATH THE MANTLE OF THE MOON
AND OH TAKE SOME JOY IN THIS LIFE
WHICH MAY LEAVE US TOO SOON
WERE THE POETS JUST LIONS
DID THEY STRING US ALONG?
