Lyrics Marc Almond

Marc Almond

Tears Run Rings

On heavenly rain

You fell into my life

Unforgettable smile

Unforgettable lies

In the name of the cross

Or a banner of love

With the hand of a friend

Or under a blanket of trust

The angels sighed

A little girl cried

The tears run rings around my eyes

We're going to set fire

To the house in my heart

We're going to set fire

To the whole damn world

I don't understand

The wicked things we do

In the name of the good

In the name of the few

The angels sighed

The little girl cried

The tears run rings around my eyes

Don't look at me

With your innocent smile

When the bed is burning

Around my head

When a war breaks out

It'll be no surprise

Your unforgettable smile

Your unforgettable lies

And I've got to stop running

To make my start

We've got to get together

Before we fall apart

They're pulling down the old slums

To build the new

They're bringing back the old rules

To please the few

In the name of the cross

Or a banner of love

With the hand of a friend

Or under a blanket of trust

The angels sighed

A little girl cried

The tears run rings around my eyes

Pull down the old slums

To build the new

Pull down the love

I built with you

Promise of tomorrow

You never kept

And you try to burn the house down

When I slept

The nation's in disorder

There's chaos in my heart

We've got to get together

Before we fall apart
