Lyrics
Behind The Drapes
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
All of us now,
Bent as we fall
To amorous light
We call out
Why are we so alone
Even with company?
If not the moon
will us guide
Will then the street light?
All of us now,
Breathe it like smoke
To know what it's like
Breathing to choke
Well, for nine days
A small moth has
Tried to escape
Our bedrooms
Why are we so alone
Even with company?
We are the pray
For each day a striking distance
