Jason Webley - Dance while the sky crashes down

The flowers by your bed are wilti^Amng. The sun is setting in the west^E. A fog is covering your eyes^E, Your stockings are attracting flies^E, Decay is nibbling at the ^Amboards on which you ^Erest.

There's someone waiting at your win^Amdow, Familiar face without a ^Dmname. One night he'll creep in like the mi^Est, To touch your forehead with a ki^Ess, And lead you back into the ^Amvoid from whence you ^Ecame.

We've all begun to ^Fdie, ^Eand don't know what to d^Amo. Since it ^Fhurts to pray to ^EGod, when ^AmGod is dying too. Takes strength to l^Faugh, ^Ewhen you start to ^Amdrown. ^Dm And we ^Amdance while the ^Esky crashes down. ^Am

^CLike that the earth begins to qui^Amver, ^{E Am}And all the oceans turn to ^Eblack. A ship of maniacs with ^Eknives, Are playing Blackjack with their l^Eives, To kill the time until the ^Amgiant rats attack.

It's raining leprosy and ^Amacid. The saints were taken out and ^Dmshot. When someone proffers you a ^Epear, You sink your teeth in una^Eware, That just beneath the skin lies ^Ampestilence and ^Erot.

We've all begun to ^Fdie, ^Eand don't know what to d^Amo. Since it ^Fhurts to pray to ^EGod, when ^AmGod is dying ^Etoo. ^CTakes strength to la^Fugh, w^Ehen you start to d^Amrown. ^Dm And we ^Amdance while the ^Esky crashes down. ^Am

^DmAll that now ^Ambreathes, and ^Eall that you ^Amlove, ^DmAll that we ^Amweave, will find its ^Fway back to the ^Edust.

A band of skeletons is ^Amplaying, Don't act like you don't know the ^Etune. Your part is echoed in the ^Epath, Of every dead leaf blowing ^Epast, Against a counterpoint ^Amreflected off the ^Emoon.

^CThere is a banquet at the ^Amtable, Exotic c^Eheeses wines and ^Dmcakes. And every one of us is ^Edamned, Until we ^Cstart to ^Eunderstand, That living is to gorge ^Amourselves at our own ^Ewakes.

We've all begun to ^Fdie, ^Eand don't know what to d^Amo. Since it ^Fhurts to pray to ^EGod, when ^AmGod is dying ^Etoo. ^CTakes strength to la^Fugh, w^Ehen you start to d^Amrown. ^Dm And we ^Amdance while the ^Esky crashes down. ^Am

^CWhen the stakes are ^Fhigh, ^Ebest to play the ^Amclown. ^Dm And we ^Amdance while the ^Csky crashes ^Fdown. ^G
