lyrics
The starlight tapestry shines like gin on a plaintive and vague recall
Out in a lover's mask and cape nobody can see me at all
The rainfall brought some vacancy to the devil's porch where it strolls
Even the railmen are gone but their graves are black and empty holes
You can feel it in the rust on the cemetery gate
Down in the junkyard you can tell when it's too late
A strange town that I walk now and strangers are all that's left to see
Everything has killed itself and now nothing is left but me
But even that's a memory while I walk until I'm gone
Tomorrow's just another day to keep dying and dying on
Dying and dying on, dying and dying on
Dying and dying on, dying
Dying, dying
Out in a lover's mask and cape nobody can see me at all
The rainfall brought some vacancy to the devil's porch where it strolls
Even the railmen are gone but their graves are black and empty holes
You can feel it in the rust on the cemetery gate
Down in the junkyard you can tell when it's too late
A strange town that I walk now and strangers are all that's left to see
Everything has killed itself and now nothing is left but me
But even that's a memory while I walk until I'm gone
Tomorrow's just another day to keep dying and dying on
Dying and dying on, dying and dying on
Dying and dying on, dying
Dying, dying
