Placebo – Then The Clouds Will Open For Me

My guy has a tan transcontinental

but it keeps me enchained

watch an old black and white movie

Fred and ginger are too sentimental, crying in shame

I don’t want to be forgotten

I can’t be alone

so don’t you dare leave me

it’s like coming home

to a skin that has died

human voices like a drum

and they’re looking right through me

scatter the ashes one more time for me, one more time for me

my guy has a tattoo ornamental

when he’s frozen in space

cut your eye far to me

a covered carcass is too elemental, caught underneath a subway

I don’t want to be forgotten

I can’t be alone

so don’t you dare leave me

it’s like coming home

it’s a skin that has died

human voices like a drum

and they’re looking right through me

scatter the ashes one more time for me, one more time for me

one more time for me, one more time for me

one more time for me, one more time for me

one more time for me, one more time for me

trans-likened, twisting my ankle

doing the grave dance

narcotic? yes please, I’ll have a sample

riding on my very last chance

then the clouds will open for me

gonna meet my Jesus Christ

I see history playing before me

for pleasure and passion you play the price

sadness the name of the spike that took me

I’ll make that’s all

like some raging, hard, horny Mephistopheles

who came for my soul
