Substitute For An Encore

Cats Are Aliens

He's behind the door

A pretty smile and tempting cure

I wonder what he does for an encore

She's burned her candles now

Screamed without a sound

A gentle sigh that forced her to the floor



If she outruns the living

Then her sins will be forgiving

She thinks that if it doesn't rain, it bores

Writes her words on foggy windows

Wiped away before we see them

Wiped away before they get her caught



She's there at the edge now

Bravely got her head down

Begun to understand now how it pulls

He's silenced by the glory

He's full of sound and fury

Funny how there's not a sound at all



They took it all away

All away

All away

And covered for each other till they found escape

Found escape

Found escape in their own way



He's behind the door

It's all behind him and he's sure

He's found their substitute for an encore

Cut into their palms

Shared a kiss while holding hands

Taking their first steps over again



The joy of vicious circles

Have to see each other smile

They'll do it if the other does it first

Holds a hope they'll stay together

Holds her hand and wonders whether

Strangers or they'll one day get to meet



She's there at the edge now

Bravely got her head down

Begun to understand now how it pulls

He's silenced by the glory

He's full of sound and fury

Funny how there's not a sound at all



They took it all away

All away

All away

Oh, how they found escape

Found escape

Found escape and they're away



Oooh...



It just occurred to me:

I need a use for sympathy

It just occurred to me:

I need a you to set me free

All the way.
