Lyrics


It was one of those wild kind of nights 

Where it all goes off like a bomb 

I was tasting little drops of Stardust 

on the tip of my tongue 


Now I’m dancing with the shadow of a spotlight 

And the music smells like freshly fallen rain 

My friends are busy, taking off their collars 

And all the while I’m dying, dying my brain 


Saying dying isn’t easy

Even if it’s just for one night 

10 feet of rope 

20 foot gap 

Just throw your voice and pull me back 

10 feet of rope I only got.

10 feet of rope I only brought 

10 feet of rope to pull me back 


I was talking to a lady made a flowers 

And she disappeared when asking for her name 

Then came a drumming on my shoulder 

And I turned another shade of gray 


Now I’m lost in a hotel hallway 

And my memories yesterday‘s perfume 

The carpet is a river of suggestion 

And the phones probably ringing, ringing in my room 


Saying dying isn’t easy

Even if it’s just for one night 

10 feet of rope 

20 foot gap 

Just throw your voice and pull me back 

10 feet of rope I only got.

10 feet of rope I only brought 

10 feet of rope to pull me back
