Sinners Dance

from Acid Tongue by Jeffrey Dallet

/

lyrics

Sacred cries from love laced lies scream out through the sinners dance
Wounded worlds come with pearls thinking they all have a chance
To be crowned by the one’s who equal the sums of their lust
Where true love's a feeling that no one can trust

In the eyes of a harlot swaying in scarlet the kind are known as the weak
Her objects are laid her premiums paid with the price of desires deep
As she feasts of the ones who come undone with a smile
Where company’s bought with the words that spill out to her ear, saying

Dance with me Charlie dance for me Charlie I‘ll believe in your lies of love
Don’t take my loneliness far from me it’s the only company that I have
Pretend that I’m real and I’ll let you steal me away

Crimson stains from blood drenched tears carve canyons down his face
Forming masks of dead end friends disappearing with out a trace
To call on tomorrow to beg steal or borrow a glimpse
Into the eyes if a one you don’t have to pay to stay

Peddling plans to unholy hands which still live holier than you
Lust is a force followed quick by remorse which leave voids with out clues
For the part time bluesers and full time losers to use
To find the lines that emptiness hides to say

Dance with me Charlie dance for me Charlie I’ll believe in your lies of love
Don't take my loneliness far from me its only company that I have
Pretend that I'm real and you'll let me steal you away

Now you search the wrong place for all the right things
And it tolls to tell what the sirens sing
Youth and beauty are bagged and sold
And lies are told to keep hold of your soul

Powers are drawn from the fair skinned fawn who rides a bent ragged mile
Callouses compiled to hide the fragile child who weeps behind smiles
As reality’s wars pimp you out as whores
To the dreams that will not come true

Etiquette games from the blowhard strains keep promises with out truth
Rip chord wishes sift through souls in stitches to prime the power of youth
Defenses fail and the helpless flail to repent
As the angels move on then are gone like the money you spent
Still you say

Dance with me Charlie dance for me Charlie I’ll believe in your lies of love
Don’t take my loneliness far from me it’s the only company that I have
Pretend that I'm real and you'l let me steal you away

Dance with me Charlie dance for me Charlie I’ll believe in your lies of love
Don’t take my loneliness far from me it’s the only company that I have
Pretend that I'm real and you'll let me steal you away
