Shadowplay

The Killers - Shadow Play



To the centre of the city
where all roads meet,
waiting for you
To the depths of the ocean
where all hopes sank,
searching for you
Moving through the silence
without motion,
waiting for you
In a room with a window
in the corner
I found truth
In the shadowplay
acting out your own death,
knowing no more
As the assassins all
grouped in four lines,
dancing on the floor
And with cold steel,
odour on their bodies
made a move to connect
I could only stare in disbelief
as the crowds all left
I did everything,
everything I wanted to
I let them use you
for their own ends
To the centre of the city
in the night,
waiting for you
To the centre of the city
in the night,
waiting for you
