lyrics

She flutters up towards the stars in a hopeless dance
Oh the moonlight, how it beckons her on
Oh but the light at the end of your cigarette
Sends me shivers that I know I'll regret.

All of these lights above my head
I feel them tearing me apart
I chose a road that wasn't mine
I left the truth of it behind

Bones all a glow in the dark as you strip me bear
I am beyond all hope of repair
The chase has become nothing more than a reckless game
setting my life and my body aflame

All of these lights about my head
I feel them tearing me apart
I chose a road that wasn't mine
I left the truth of it behind

And like a moth to the flame
I would never come this way again
I have forsaken my night
For a cold florescent light
