Dead Man's Party Lyrics - 1985

[ Buy Dead Man's Party ]

(i thought i heard somebody cry--
I though i heard somebody cry)
I went to see what i could find
Like flowers in the dead of night
Like shadows in the moonlight--
I though i heard somebody cry
A choir with a single voice--a picnic on a cliff
Antenna like an insect--to pick up all your thoughts

Chorus
It isn't true
I am not the ghost
Without a soul . . . come
Listen to my heart
You feel the beat . . . stop
Listen to the sound
Of moving feet . . . walk
Through the halls at night
When i'm asleep
I don't believe . . .i don't believe

The shoe is on the other foot--the glove is on the fist
The first is like a cannonball--but it feels like a kiss
I got a bed that's real soft--in a room that's always sad
I thought i heard a window sigh--
I though i heard somebody cry

Chorus

A choir with a single voice--a picnic on a cliff
Antenna like an insect--to pick up all your thoughts
I sip the running water--like rivers from your eyes
I thought i heard somebody cry--somebody might be lost
I thought i heard somebody cry--somebody might be lost
I thought i heard somebody cry--i thought i'd go and see
I thought i heard somebody cry--somebody might be me
