The Plague Lyrics by Marc Almond

The Plague Lyrics

    I've spent many a night
    Lying on my back
    Waiting for the dawn
    To pierce and crack
    And the ceiling
    Hanging from the sky
    And i envy the boy
    Who grabbed the toy
    And ran away
    And found a joy
    While i stood in the shadows
    Wondering why

    Flying towards me
    Then he laughs
    A woman's face
    The terrible taste
    Of the morning after kisses
    And goodbyes
    I could never seem to catch my footsteps
    Have desires, they fly away
    Every day i have to fight the plague

    How can i sleep in hours like this
    When anguish tracks me like a fist
    My nakedness exposed, i can't stand
    Still i...try to remember lips on lips
    Hips on hips and ice on fire
    In gloom and glow
    When did they leave the man

    In the mirror of the night i see
    A face that staring out at me
    Like a fallen star
    Burned itself out
    Like a deadly scrapes
    Across the ground
    My voice cried out
    In a gravelled sound
    No one's there to hear me
    But the plague

    Straining hard to see
    Running after me
    I keep pounding pounding on the door
    But it's all so vague
    When you meet the plague
    And i keep coming
    I keep coming back for more
