Go wash the gold paint off your face I'll follow you and walk away You disappear into the dark Your shadow's gone off dancing The lights in the rearview You're singing on the radio ♪ I hear the barbarians They're howling in the streets I wish I could believe you The echoes of your footsteps within me ♪ And I see you no more Old faces and certain streets And I see you no more ♪ And we're laughing it up in the kitchen Blowing smoke rings in the car You disappear into the dark Your shadow's gone off dancing I wish I could believe you The echoes of your footsteps within me ♪ And I see you no more Old faces and certain streets Oh, I see you no more The echoes of your footsteps within me No, the earth's not so dark It just never stops descending No, the earth's not so dark
