Richard Barbieri - Deadwing lyrics

And something warm and soft just pa**ed through here It took the precious things that I hold dearer It rifled through the grey and disappeared The creeping darkness makes the small hours clearer Like a cancer scare in the dentist's chair s**ing in the air Wire across the stair Kicking down the door At your local store With the world at war Voices through the floor Unexpected news Wearing high-heeled shoes Blowing out the fuse Paying all your dues Deadwing lullaby Like a fracture tied It's a worthless lie To the public eye I don't take waifs and strays back home with me My bleeding heart does not extend to charity Yes I'd have to say I like my privacy And did you know you're on closed-circuit TV? So smile at me And a dream you had Of your mum and dad On a beach somewhere And the poison air With the cancer threat In a cigarette Deadwing lullaby Find a place to hide And from the yellow windows of the last train A spectre from the next life breathes his fog on the pane I look with you into the speeding black rain Afraid to touch someone, afraid to ask her for her name And in the morning when I find I have lost you I throw a window open wide and step through
