TWICE UPON A TIME - THE SINGLES
1992
- Slowdive
- Melt !
- Dazzle
- Candyman
- The Last Beat Of My Heart (live)
The body is wrapped in shadow
the face is built of cinders
and panic tears thro' your silhouette
as you're squeezed by burning fingers
and he crackling in our colours
with teeth of gelignite
When he sighs his song and pirouettes
thro' a dance of dynamite
We are fireworks - slowly, glowing
bold and bright
We are fireworks - burning shapes
into the night
His fuel is our frustration
and dreams begin to ache
and all the while we wear a party smile
and happily we shiver
and happily we shake
Oh shake, shake, shake
We are fireworks - slowly, glowing
bold and bright
We are fireworks - burning shapes
into the night
Twist and turn - burn, burn, burn
twist and turn - burn, baby, burn
Face to face - my lovely foe
Mouth to mouth - raining heaven's blows
Hand on heart - tic tac toe
Under the stars - naked as we flow
Cheek to cheek - the bitter sweet
Commit your crime in your deadly time
It's too divine - I want to bend
I want this bliss but something says I must resist
Another life - another time
We're Siamese twins writhing intertwined
Face to face - no telling lies
The masks they slide to reveal a new disguise
You never can win - it's the state I'm in
This danger thrills and my conflict kills
They say follow your heart - follow it through
But how can you - when you're split in two?
And you'll never know
You'll never know
One more kiss - before we die
Face to face - and dream of flying
Who are you? - who am I?
Wind in wings - two angels falling
To die like this - with a last kiss
It's falsehood's flame - it's a crying shame
Face to face - the passions breathe
I hate to stay but then I hate to leave
And you'll never know
You'll never know
