Shadow Play
The Killers愀 Lyrics

To the centre of the city where all roads meet, waiting for you
In the heart of the bustling metropolis, where every path converges, I am waiting for you.

To the depths of the ocean where all hopes sank, searching for you
Even as my hopes began to drown and sink into the abyss, I continued searching for you.

Well I was moving through the silence without motion, waiting for you
Futilely, I was wandering aimlessly through the stillness, waiting, hoping for you to appear.

In a room with a window in the corner I found truth
Within a solitary chamber, I chanced upon truth in a corner window.

In the shadowplay acting out your own death, knowing no more
In a theatrical performance, you portrayed yourself dying, unawares of what fate holds in store.

As the assassins all grouped in four lines, dancing on the floor
A quartet of murderers gathered, rhythmically swaying on the dance floor.

And with cold steel, odor on their bodies made a move to connect
With icy weapons and malodorous bodies, they made a move to strike a fatal blow.

I could only stare in disbelief as the crowds all left
All I could do was stare in disbelief as the crowd dispersed and fled from the scene.

I did everything, everything I wanted to
I accomplished everything, every goal I aspired to achieve.

I let them use you for their own ends
Regrettably, I allowed them to exploit you for their personal gain and motives.

To the centre of the city in the night, waiting for you
Once again, under the cloak of darkness, I find myself at the core of the city, eagerly waiting for your arrival.

To the centre of the city in the night, waiting for you
Once again, under the cloak of darkness, I find myself at the core of the city, eagerly waiting for your arrival.
