Time and time again
The sky is blue
And yet it's strange how people
Seem to always fall in love
An unfamiliar yellow dog
Keeps grinning as it tears us from the ones we love

Because the dead
Because the death
Because the dead
Shine all night long

I want to die
As beautifully as Joan of Arc
Inside a Bresson film
Lesson one
Apply the shaving cream
And smile as you then slowly
Slice away at the heart

Because the dead
Because the death
Because the dead
Shine all night long

Feel the warmth of the spring rain
As it gently moistens down a cheek
That's streaked with dried up tears
A guiless boy but five years old
Stares blankly in the face of death
While the heart is cut and torn away

Because the dead
Because the death
Because the dead
Shine all night long
