![]() Join The Dots (2004) [ larger cover art ] |
'Don't look don't look,' the shadows breathe
Whispering me away from you
'Don't wake at night to watch her sleep
You know that you will always lose
This trembling
Adored
Tousled birdmad girl...'
But every night I burn
Every night I call your name
Every night I burn
Every night I fall again
'Oh don't talk of love,' the shadows purr
Murmuring me away from you
'Don't talk of worlds that never were
The end is all that's ever true
There's nothing you can ever say
Nothing you can ever do...'
Still every night I burn
Every night I scream your name
Every night I burn
Every night the dream's the same
Every night I burn
Waiting for my only friend
Every night I burn
Waiting for the world to end
'Just paint your face,' the shadows smile
Slipping me away from you
'Oh it doesn't matter how you hide
Find you if we're wanting to
So slide back down and close your eyes
Sleep a while
You must be tired...'
But every night I burn
Every night I call your name
Every night I burn
Every night I fall again
Every night I burn
Scream the animal scream
Every night I burn
Dream the crow black dream
Every night I burn
Scream the animal scream
Every night I burn
Dream the crow black dream
Dream the crow black dream...

| Nippur (Paraná, E.R. - Argentina) | Posted: Apr 26, 2013 - 05:00 I saw the show in Argentina, on 12th april 2013. Great show ! 40 songs... three and a half hours playing ! Robert is 54 years old and his voice sounds the same. Reeves Gabrels joined them for the Latinamerican tour this year... and Tim Pope is filming the shows. It was a dream come true. |

| shakitten | Posted: Nov 22, 2011 - 17:58 This song rocks! I bought The Crow soundtrack years ago after seeing the movie, and it's still a favorite today. This song kicks it off...LOVE IT!!!! |

I can understand some people not getting what, for the vast percentage of listeners, is an iconic and breathtakingly good band. But to have a pop at someone because his 'body language' does not suit your obviously narrow frame of existance. Well, that to me is borderline racist. For that reason, you, sunny boy, are in my crosshairs. Grow up or ship out. You're wasting good ammo if you aim for Stingray - he's just a mouthy little bastard who loves to stir things up whenever possible. ANY attention is good attention, as far as he's concerned. Still, I can't help but wonder if he's a dwarf clown with bad teeth and a little pecker, who lives in a basement and whose only contact with the outside world is through the Internet. Geez, I think I just scared myself... |

This song is worth it, especially in light of the fact that we have a neighbor who parties hard until four a.m. and then catches his ride to the mine; another neighbor with four huge barking dogs; yet another neighbor who has screaming matches with her live-in whatever-he-is until the cops show up... I think The Cure is the lesser of several evils. |

| Carl (The Summit City) | Posted: Jun 05, 2011 - 15:21 This was noted a while back — it reminds me, too, of The Smiths' "How Soon Is Now?" |
| Neil66 ((stav) anger) | Posted: Jun 05, 2011 - 15:18 Was a mad-as-fcuk fan of The Cure in my youth... but lost touch... this is pretty good though & maybe I need to reawaken the listening.. |

Now, please make those clowns go away, 'kay? |
