What are you doing here?
You always bring a throng of
Good-for-nothings and hangers-on
What's your name again, what's your name again?
You can barely open your eyes
The vision inside is beyond compare
And over there in the spotlight is a girl
So pale and wild and young
That someone let her in
Don't be scared of dark corners
Silver webs and waiting spiders
Darling, bare your flesh and teeth and grin
They were the last days of decadence before the crash
It was the last haze of romance before your hopes were dashed
It was the last fling and thrill, and yes, we were all a mess
And it was beautiful, and awful, and I didn't notice
There's a picture of your face on the wall
And it's bigger than us all, and it knows too much
And it watches us, and it watches us
Those eyes follow us in, and my head is swimming
As you drown in your drink
And the sparkle is too bright, in the dim of the din
All the tunes are new but very like the ones we used to sing
There is no record of the nights we have been and with who,
We were there, and we don't remember
They were the last days of decadence before the crash
It was the last haze of romance before your hopes were dashed
It was the last fling and thrill, and yes, we were all a mess
And it was beautiful, and awful, and I didn't notice
Well, you eat too little then you drink too much
A man rubs you on the shoulder and you shudder at the touch
I steal out solo in an old stolen fur coat
For hours I wonder if they know I've wandered out
And it was outside in the darkness when I had this epiphany
I was alone not waiting for someone
No clock of the tick of the time
No one to own me
And I thought as I walked,
And I thought as I walked,
They were the last days of decadence before the crash
It was the last blaze of romance before your hopes were dashed
It was the last fling and thrill, and yes, we were all a mess
And it was beautiful, and awful, and I didn't notice
The last days of decadence before the crash
The last blaze of romance before your hopes were dashed
The last fling and thrill, and yes, we were all a mess
And it was beautiful, and awful, and I didn't notice
Didn't notice
Mmm...oooh
