Decadence Lyrics by Kevin Ayers

Decadence Lyrics

    Watch her out there on display
    Dancing in her sleepy way
    While all her visions start to play
    On the icicles of our decay.

    Fading flowers in her hair
    She's suffering from wear and tear
    She lies in waterfalls of dreams
    And never questions what it means.

    And all along the desert shore
    She wanders further evermore
    The only thing that's left to try¡­
    She says to live i have to die.

    She whispers sadly well i might
    And holds herself so very tight
    Then jumping from an unknown height
    She merges with the liquid night.

    Lovers wrap her mist in furs
    And tell her what she has is hers
    But when they take her by the hand
    She slips back in the desert sand.

    But what she leaves is made of glass
    And lovers worship as they pass
    Each one says - now she is mine
    But all drink solitary wine.
    (drink it to marlene)
