maximo park – a cloud of mystery lyrics
calm those vowels down
no-one’s thinking of you right now.
she’s dressed up – it’s her duty to the town.
it’s empty. it’s vast.
but it imposes it’s will.
in a crowded room
her painted features smothered in the gloom –
already resigned
at night she scr-pes
away the face that she creates
the mirror sighs…
why can’t we always meet
under a cloud of mystery?
the noise from a hundred mouths
working through memory
big budget, showbiz exit –
she’ll go far.
acting coy was her favourite ploy
it quickly loses its charm.
the frosted cheek you turned
will add to your mystique
he burns for you.
i threw myself into your world
only to come up short…
why can’t we always meet
under a cloud of mystery?
the noise from a hundred mouths
working through memory
king for a thursday afternoon
before the time when you withdrew
why can’t we always meet
under a cloud of mystery?
bathroom lights stud the evening
where the buildings skim the air
hairsprayed curls push the cheek
as they swoon on a wooden dance floor
there’s nothing worse than taking a chance
on an outdated dance…
why can’t we always meet
under a cloud of mystery?
the noise from a hundred mouths
cursing through memory
king for a thursday afternoon
before the time when you withdrew
why can’t we always meet
under a cloud of mystery?
