Dancing Like A Gun Lyrics

Dancing Like A Gun lyrics

Oh, do you get the smell of burning metal?
Can you feel that heartbeat
under the sea?
Well it's just me and Oppenheimer waltzing
With
crowded streets in chromakey
And all the glow boys in their lipstick and
shadows
And gold leaf on their delicate skins
Well they can filter
through your curtains like nerve gas
They leave their laughter on the
wind
And we're dancing
Yes we're dancing
We're dancing like a
gun
Nothing I can see looks like an exit
So I'm making you into a
door
You've been a guaranteed constant companion for so long
I'll
almost miss you when I go
And there's silence in your silver passing
And stardust scattered over your breasts
Then I looked around and
found
All the faces of the world
As the ballroom floor gets fused to
glass
And we're dancing
Yes we're dancing
We're dancing like a
gun
We'll walk in the silent places
In the wake of the storms
Swim through our own cathedral
Trailing the dawn
Dresses of light
and ashes
Proud in display
Lovers and enemies
All waltzing in
the waves
Oh we're dancing
Yes we're dancing
We're dancing like
a gun
