lyrics

1. Two went into flame
Three froze then caught fire
Faith died when that happened as
Hope goes by and by
Shelter from a truth
Too huge not to be told
Hides but breeds such terror by night
Now I dare not go

Sunset on this sinking wreck
Bathes us in its glow
No one pulled the fire alarm
No ambulances show
Until the moment
We're bloody, bent and broken
They'll crowd around instead
To tell us that we're dead

That blow would take too long!

One night our lives flash by
And in their dust the day
I was a bull in a china shop
and you were my fair maid
I'll find my hat
and knock out all the glass
Here, grab your purse
But a coroner and hearse?

That blow would take too long!

Momma's baby
Born one Judgement Day
Did the doctor drop me on my head
from a chandalier?
'Cause the years gone by clinging
Rolled off one by one
and left me

Act nonchalant
Pretend there's nothing wrong
Pay your last respects
They'll be no last regrets

That blow would take too long!
C'mon baby we're gone

The crowd gone home
Ages ago
I'm still sat out on a ledge
Afraid one day of what might happen
If I let go
A piano falls into your dreams
Look out down below

about

Wunderbar! 松山市, Japan

"Steam powered fantasia with a touch of the wild, wild west and one of a kind mechanical instruments. If Melies had been a songwriter instead of film director, his music would probably have sounded something like this."
