Black Tie Affair

from Luna Takes Asylum by One Dog Clapping

lyrics

The sun leaves the sky to go to a better place
The sun grabs hold of the sky and tries to take it to a better place
The sun is part of the sky – it cannot escape
It tries to think of a better way and then it just takes the one way out and falls from the sky
There’s only one thing to do
So the darkness takes the headcount and subjugates the light
All we’ve got to sustain us is points of light
Trying to call from far way
Trying to call to far too many from far too many
Who’s calling to who?
Who’s calling to you?
They try to call from under the darkness blanket
Its time for me to grow my horns
My horns are just a part of me
My horns are just a part of me
A big fuck off part of me
And its time to give them pleasure
The first thing they’re going to do is gangrape the truth
Until its too traumatised to speak
And then replace it with a branding place
And then replace it with a branding space
A megaphone for a better way the loudest thing you’ll hear
The loudest thing you’ll see the loudest thing you’ll wear
Can you feel yourself corrode?
The darkness is my domain I share with all the millions
The darkness is mine to claim one of many minions
But the light will come again to burn away the darkness
Because light is fire the very hottest you can bear
And when the light comes my two horns elevate themselves and change
Their shape into semi circles and join together at each end
And there they form a halo
My horns become a halo
There they form their halo
Both are just as genuine and both are just as real
Both are just as genuine and both are just as real
Both are gonna suck me in
What do you think of that?

God exists as a warning
The way fairy tales caution about living in evil castles
A warning tale is only as good as the story you lived through to prove it
You learn nothing from your experiences without dreams disguised as if they were life
I’ve got a thing for life, you know
I’ve got a thing for life, you know
The up is dark and light is down
The up is dark so light is down
The up is dark but light is down
The up is dark
I’ve got news for you
The person sitting in on judgement day is you
The passer of the sentence is you
The keeper of the sentence is you
The writer of this sentence is you

Take over!

Desperate times call for desperate pleasures
Desperate times call for desperate pleasures
The cry, is forever in there?
The cry is forever in there
The cry, is forever inthere?
The cry is forever, in there

Desperate times call for desperate pleasures
Desperate times call for desperate pleasures
Desperate times
Desperate times
Desperate times
Desperate times
Desperate pleasures
Desperate pleasures
Desperate pleasures
Desperate pleasures

We’ll cry forever in there
We’ve been crying forever in there
We’ve been crying forever
Is forever in there?
I want to get in to find out
I can’t get in to find out
Because my dress is inappropriate
