Snowdrop Lyrics - Singles - Roland Orzabal

The writing on the wall 

Changes everyday 

Moving the lights about 

We live by stealth alone 

By simple truths, that's our philosophy 

Oh, what a perfect day 

Stretch it out forever 

With flowers for your grave 

A snowdrop for your soul 

Down on your knees and pray 

May lightning strike your bones 

The devil makes his own pornography 

Oh, what a cross to bear 

Freaking out completely 

You locked yourself away 

Now you're dead inside 

You dug yourself a grave 

Now you're dead inside 

The promises you made 

Were all dead inside 

The calm before the storm 

The bitter taste of mediocrity 

Turning you inside out 

I'm waiting in the wings 

No news of joy, just more hypocrisy 

Oh, what a strange affair 

We belong together 

You locked yourself away 

Now you're dead inside 

You dug yourself a grave 

Now you're dead inside 

The promises you made 

Were all dead inside 

You made your bed 

Now lie in it, dead inside 

You locked yourself away 

Now you're dead inside 

You dug yourself a grave 

Now you're dead inside 

The promises you made 

Were all dead inside 

You made your bed 

Now lie in it, dead inside
