Colours Run - Beautiful Waste Of Time lyrics

We step out into the decadent decay To stir the languor of our love And when we kiss, you turn your tired eyes away Trapped in the mirror hung above Sometimes I'm glad I've only got one life to waste You are the needle in my arm And though I'm dying, I have such a pretty time You do me harm Come on, do me harm It's a lovely waste, such a beautiful waste You're a wonderful waste of time And I could lose my mind in your pointless embrace Such a beautiful waste of time Every night's a fight for life The finest food, the driest wines Don't stop the music, keep on dancing as we sink Shot holes beneath the waterline And I can only speak in metaphors As I watch the horde a**ail the walls Oh my darling, close your eyes and let's pretend That we're not here at all It's a lovely waste, such a beautiful waste You're a wonderful waste of time And I could lose my mind to your pointless debates Such a beautiful waste of time In moonlit shoes, I buried all my clocks I meant to sieze the day But somehow I forgot Could be a king if I could just wake up I wrote the book On how to lose the plot I love you girl, but you tie me up in knots Keep tripping on your violins and handcuffs You're a lovely waste, such a beautiful waste You're a wonderful waste of time And I could lose my mind in your pointless embrace Such a beautiful waste of time Maybe one fine day, I could light up the stage Where the bells of escape still chime But not tonight, cos I still can't tear my face away From this beautiful waste of time
