Tom Verlaine - Torn Curtain lyrics

[Verse 1] Torn curtain reveals another play Torn curtain, such an exposé! I'm uncertain when beauty meets abuse Torn curtain loves all ridicule [Chorus] (Tears, tears) Rolling back the years (Years, years) Flowing by like tears (Tears, tears) Rolling back the years (Years, years) The years I've seen before [Verse 2] Torn curtain giving me the glance Torn curtain is bringing on the trance But I'm not hurting, holding to the thread Torn curtain lifts me on the tread [Chorus] [(Tears, tears) Rolling back the years (Years, years) Holding back the tears (Tears, tears) Rolling by like years (Years, years) The tears I never shed [Verse 3] Torn curtain, feels more like a rake Torn curtain, how much does it take? Burn it down [Chorus] (Tears, tears) Rolling back the years (Years, years) Holding back the tears (Tears, tears) Rolling back the years (Years, years) The years I've seen before [Outro] (Tears, tears) (Years, years) (Tears, tears) (Years, years)
