lyrics

Donna is a muse
Her mind is made up
Of collected bits
Twisted iron, I once eclipsed
As I am but a thief
For I knew the story
Long before we spoke
And cheated ourselves
Grew up in the Spring
Of bought and sold emotions
Between our teeth
We destroyed the hours
But we were so alive
And there our love was destined
To collapse and fall
Under the weight of ourselves

So you say goodnight
Goodnight
Sweet Donna
Remove the spell
The spell off the night

Prima Donna blues
And my eyes have lifted
Nothing left in blurs
Through my sight
Funny how the way
The ones you’ve once hunted
Become the trees
On the path you’ve lost
Now I’m swinging with my pills
At the end of that rope
Charcoal dust collects
Can you hear me sigh?
Saw us through those fires
And your cooling liquid
Suffers in your throat
To forget the past

So you say goodnight
Goodnight
Sweet Donna
Remove the spell
The spell off the night

Lonely are the winds
Crystal dust of Winter
Often I would be
The robot man
Standing on the edge
Of our new silence
Angel white winds
I can hear nothing else
The psyche of my sleaze
Drags behind my body
Looking like the dreams
Of someone else
Whenever we will meet
There it stirs a torture
Drew me among the streets
As the thief is now robbed

So you say goodnight
Goodnight
Sweet Donna
Remove the spell
The spell off the night
