k**ing Miranda - Ballad Of Torrens Street lyrics

Oh, I remember that I met her one dark night on Torrens Street I told her she was beautiful; she said, "I think you're sweet" We drank some whisky and Coke and we danced away till three But it all went wrong when I asked her, "Will you come home with me?" Were my motives insincere? Is my conscience unclear? Won't you take my hand, my dear? Show me the way out of here Among the smoke we move as one, becoming something else We're dazzled by this decadence; in monochrome we dwell Another night of tragedy: I'll try to make amends Now the monsters under my bed have become my only friends Were my motives insincere? Is my conscience unclear? Won't you take my hand, my dear? Show me the way out of here Show me the way Show me the way Show me the way The children of the night come out to play on Torrens Street With eyeliner and pink champagne and fake blood on their teeth See them shake to their foundation, cast an evil eye on me In the shadow of the Angel in the dark on Torrens Street Were my motives insincere? Is my conscience unclear? Won't you take my hand, my dear? Show me the way out of here
