WATCHING FROM THE DARKEST PLACES

music: Bari-Bari
instruments: Bari-Bari
vox and lyrics: Christianna

Outside the occasional break
I have no clue or measure to take
A simple sound whirls me 'round
As a wanton hand would drag me down
So off on rubber legs I stride
Leering faces no place to hide
City lights a strobe of faces
Watching from the darkest places

The candles burn their sockets dim
In vain I feel my pockets thin
The blinds drawn let thru the day
And all I wonder is how to pay
Stealing 'cross the underground
Laughing hands they pull me down
So stand away the strange ones drifting
The haze around me suddenly lifting

Collect me here in my revulsion
Reeling senseless in my abandon
My lover gives an offering
Lusting for the spoils it brings
Cigarette shiver give me some light
Smile to my face and kiss me goodnight
He gives to hatred the secret lover
Nothing further to discover

The candles burn their sockets dim
In vain I feel my pockets thin
The blinds drawn let thru the day
And all I wonder is how to pay
Stealing 'cross the underground
Laughing hands they pull me down
So stand away the strange ones drifting
The haze around me suddenly lifting

Her fire burned ashen cold
So many stories left untold
A simple sound to whirl her 'round
As a wanton hand would pull her down
So off on rubber legs I stride
Windows leering no place to hide
City lights a strobe of faces
Watching from the darkest places

The candles burn their sockets dim
In vain I feel my pockets thin
The blinds drawn let thru the day
And all I wonder is how to pay
Stealing 'cross the underground
Laughing hands they pull me down
So stand away the strange ones drifting
The haze around me suddenly lifting

What strange promises you spin
That I would batter happiness against a rock
When tomorrow nothing will remain
