Lords Of The Backstage Lyrics - Fish

A love song with no validity 

Pretend you never meant that much to me 

Numb, a Valium child, bored by meaningless collisions 

A lonely stretch of headlight, diamonds trapped in black ice 

A mirror cracked among the white lines 

I just wanted you to be the first one 

I just wanted you to be the first one 

Ashes are burning, burning 

Ashes are burning, burning 

A lifestyle with no simplicities but I'm not asking for your sympathy 

Talk, we never could talk, distanced by all that was between us 

A Lord of the backstage, a creature of language 

I'm so far out and I'm too far in 

I just wanted you to be the first one 

I just wanted you to be the first one 

Bridges are burning, burning 

Bridges are burning, burning
