Maxïmo Park - A Cloud Of Mystery
[00:15.35] Calm those vowels down
[00:17.12] No-one's thinking of you right now.
[00:19.85] ------
[00:21.84] She's dressed up - It's her duty to the town.
[00:26.35] -------
[00:28.63] It's empty. It's vast.
[00:31.10] But it imposes it's will.
[00:33.36] ------
[00:34.84] In a crowded room
[00:36.85] Her painted features smothered in the gloom
[00:39.61] Already resigned
[00:41.34] At night she scrapes
[00:43.09] Away the face that she creates
[00:46.09] The mirror sighs
[00:47.59] Why can't we always meet
[00:51.09] Under a cloud of mystery?
[00:54.35] The noise from a hundred mouths
[00:57.59] Working through memory
[01:00.86] -------
[01:09.60] Big budget, Showbiz exit
[01:12.09] She'll go far.
[01:14.35] ------
[01:16.36] Acting coy was her favourite ploy
[01:18.58] It quickly loses its charm.
[01:20.34] -------
[01:22.37] The frosted cheek you turned
[01:25.34] Will add to your mystique
[01:27.10] He burns for you.
[01:28.60] I threw myself into your world
[01:31.85] Only to come up short
[01:35.09] Why can't we always meet
[01:39.13] Under a cloud of mystery?
[01:42.09] The noise from a hundred mouths
[01:45.37] Working through memory
[01:48.35] King for a Thursday afternoon
[01:51.38] Before the time when you withdrew
[01:54.61] Why can't we always meet
[01:57.83] Under a cloud of mystery?
[02:01.36] -------
[02:09.08] Bathroom lights stud the evening
[02:12.87] Where the buildings skim the air
[02:15.59] Hairsprayed curls push the cheek
[02:19.09] As they swoon on a wooden dance floor
[02:22.35] There's nothing worse than taking a chance
[02:25.61] On an outdated dance
[02:27.86] Why can't we always meet
[02:30.87] Under a cloud of mystery?
[02:34.09] The noise from a hundred mouths
[02:37.33] Cursing through memory
[02:40.60] King for a Thursday afternoon
[02:43.88] Before the time when you withdrew
[02:47.37] Why can't we always meet
[02:50.84] Under a cloud of mystery?
[02:53.86] -------
