Jessie maybe I’m too far gone
The city’s empty
the light’s all wrong
Lately I conjure you
In the cigarette
smoke on Parc Avenue
Tired eyes
Why the masquerade
We’re all haunting
the same dead parade
Haunting or hanging around
Drunk on the dreams
that bleed this town
Jessie it’s the electricity
Between these buildings
Consuming me
Tired eyes
It’s just shadows
and shade and flashes of light
A soft serenade
Tired eyes
Why the masquerade
We’re all haunting
the same dead parade
You were the actor
playing the saviour
As if my faith was stronger
Like some beginner
I’ll stay here
until this place closes
I’ve buried my rivals
in whiskey and roses
Damned and feather light
You can wear your
best dress out every night
Tired eyes
Why the masquerade
We’re all haunting
the same dead parade
Tired eyes
It’s just shadows
and shade and flashes of light
A soft serenade
Tired eyes
Why the masquerade
We’re all haunting
the same dead parade
Tired eyes
Why the masquerade
We’re all haunting
the same dead parade
We’re all haunting
the same dead parade
