Dead Man's Party Lyrics - 1985

[ Buy Dead Man's Party ]

(there's life underground)

I feel it all around / i feel it in my bones
My life is on the line / when i'm away from home
When i step out the door / the jungle is alive
I do not trust my ears / i don't believe my eyes
I will not fall in love / i cannot risk the bet
Cause hearts are fragile toys / so easy to forget

It's just another day / there's murder in the air
It drags me when i walk / i smell it everywhere
It's just another day / where people cling to light
To drive away the fear / that comes with every night

Chorus
It's just another . . . . . . . it's just another day
It's just another . . . . . . . it's just another day . . .

It's just another day--when people wake from dreams
With voices in their ears--that will not go away

I had a dream last night / the world was set on fire
And everywhere i ran / there wasn't any water
The temperature increased / the sky was crimson red
The clouds turned into smoke / and everyone was dead
(but) there's a smile on my face . . . for everyone
There's a golden coin . . . that reflects the sun
There's a lonely place . . . that's always cold
There's a place in the stars . . . for when you get old

There's razors in my bed / that come out late at night
They always disappear / before the morning light
I'm dreaming again / of life underground
It doesn't ever move / it doesn't make a sound
And just when i think--that things are in their place
The heavens are secure--the whole thing explodes in my face

Chorus
