You sit like a shadow inside a shadow, TV k**s another soul
You don't know why the phone never rings on Sundays
The walls are alive from the light outside, it's like a film inside a film
The city's gonna teach you the part one day
And you shield your weakness, hey
But they know your secret
Still I feel like dancing with you in systems of silence
We turn in a secret ballet all around and between the sounds and the sights
The fears will be fading away in systems of silence
I just wanna dance all the way right down to the core of the black and the white
You live for this city, breeding its illusions with your hands against the wall
Another day has coached you into surrender
You're bleeding its emotions, walking its desires like a dance you can't perform
The city's gonna teach you the steps one day, yeah
And we've lost our senses, hey
But I'll take my chances
Still I feel like dancing with you in systems of silence
We turn in a secret ballet all around and between the sounds and the sights
The fears will be fading away in systems of silence
I just wanna dance all the way right down to the core of the black and the white
And you freeze like they told you
And you give yourself up
And you reel spread-eagled (hey)
Still I feel like dancing with you in systems of silence
We turn in a secret ballet all around and between the sounds and the sights
The fears will be fading away in systems of silence
I just wanna dance all the way right down to the core of the black and the white
Still I feel like dancing with you in systems of silence
We turn in a secret ballet all around and between the sounds and the sights
The fears will be fading away in systems of silence
I just wanna dance all the way right down to the core of the black and the white
(systems of silence) oh yeah
