Let's come tonight
To the other side
no more way

Seems a black day

Let's come tonight

Dance to the other side
No more pray
That's your day

So now it’s decided; it’s out in the open, it’s all clear
So now, we’re divided
Burnt down burnt out, cropped sheer my dear, I fear
Now it’s all broken and the poison is placed in the trap
So tell me how to pretend with conviction
And survive in this mire of contradiction

So what about this fruit of love
Tell me how to protect it from the hail of hate
x2
That lays in wait
That lays in wait

How to keep up appearances in this neglected garden that’s me
How to explain disappearances to these innocent victims you see
So now I’m a painless shroud, I’m pulling all the shots
A prisoner of my soul, my mind, my body
At night I rattle the door handles; I try to keep lost

So what about this fruit of love
Tell me how to protect it from the hail of hate x 4
That… lays in wait

I can’t help it if this is just a small town, and everybody knows your business
Well, I can’t help it if this is just a small town and everybody knows your business
I can’t help it if this is such a small town and everybody knows your business

Maybe better to keep up appearances
Maybe, Maybe

I saw you flying with the falcons, in search of one last chance
You were saying your piece and battening down the hatches

I saw you running with the wild ones, the desert in your reach
You were holding your own, insisting we do it free style

We phase in we phase out, despite these restrictive circumstances
Ooh you’re stepping in style and I’m sure you’ll cut em down to size
I'm sure you will

I heard rumors on your progress, guess that’s the best I’ll do
If we reversed the situation, be sure I’d do the same for you
I saw you dancing in the darkness, but I could see through your disguise
If I don’t get caught in minor detail, I swear I’ll let love speak its mind well

We phase in we phase out, despite these restrictive circumstances
Ooh we’re stepping in style and I’m sure you’ll cut em down to size
We phase in we phase out, despite these restrictive circumstances
Ooh we’re stepping in style and I’m sure you’ll cut em down to size

We phase in we phase out we’re flying with the falcons,

Running with the wild ones dancing in the darkness

I can see through your disguise, oh
We phase in we phase out despite these restrictive circumstances
Ooh you’re stepping in style and I’m sure you’ll

Cut em down to size
I’m sure you’ll, I’m sure you’ll, I’m sure you’ll, I’m sure you’ll
Cut em down to size
You know I’m sure you will

We phase in we phase out, despite these restrictive circumstances
