Pull yourself together Pour a drink, light a cigarette And tell me about the weather And how the sky turns violet (Every time we collide) And how it all gets messed (Every time we collide) Before the suns comes up at you (Like a forbidden light) I have but lame excuses (Undignified) They will do the job for you This is the greatest trick of the century And it runs runs, runs, runs like a clockwork Why do you whisper? Why don't you scream at me? What a real fake-life we won't be sharing I store you in a gift box I take you out on a weary day We're going deaf when fear talks We overrule our DNA (Every time we collide) We radiate the brightness (Every time we collide) From the amazing fallacy (Like a forbidden light) Behind our sweat-soaked faces (Undignified) But who on earth needs dignity? This is the greatest trick of the century And it runs runs, runs, runs like a clockwork Why do you whisper? Why don't you scream at me? What a real fake-life we won't be sharing Every time we collide Every time we collide Like a forbidden light Undignified This is the greatest trick of the century And it runs runs, runs, runs like a clockwork Why do you whisper? Why don't you scream at me? What a real fake-life we won't be sharing
