Neon smoke wreath 'round your silhouette
Like some B-movie parting scene
This fading pub our broken set
Where love turned bitter turned obscene
And when the roof caves in at last
And dust chokes out what songs remain
Let's play one final round love
Drown it out 'til there's no pain
Let's stumble through the fading light
This ballroom burning out of time
A farewell waltz a desperate fight
We'll paint this ending line by line
I catch your shadow on the wall
This haunting beauty none can see
A silent film flickering before the fall
Love's tragic silent movie
Cheap perfume and cigarette sting
Soundtrack to this sorry show
Remember darling shiny things?
Those stolen nights and summer glow?
Mirrors crack reflections distort
Two fading stars in neon skies
All those clever lines fall short
Just empty looks behind tired eyes
Let's stumble through the fading light
This ballroom burning out of time
A farewell waltz a desperate fight
We'll paint this ending line by line
I catch your shadow on the wall
This haunting beauty none can see
A silent film flickering before the fall
Love's tragic silent movie
A flicker on the disco ball
Like dying stars we couldn't chase
And through the chaos of it all
My hand still finds that familiar place
Let's stumble through the fading light
This ballroom burning out of time
A farewell waltz a desperate fight
We'll paint this ending line by line
I catch your shadow on the wall
This haunting beauty none can see
A silent film flickering before the fall
Love's tragic silent movie
