Cats Are Aliens – Substitute For An Encore lyrics

He's behind the door
A pretty smile and tempting cure
I wonder what he does for an encore
She's burned her candles now
Screamed without a sound
A gentle sigh that forced her to the floor

If she outruns the living
Then her sins will be forgiving
She thinks that if it doesn't rain, it bores
Writes her words on foggy windows
Wiped away before we see them
Wiped away before they get her caught

She's there at the edge now
Bravely got her head down
Begun to understand now how it pulls
He's silenced by the glory
He's full of sound and fury
Funny how there's not a sound at all

They took it all away
All away
All away
And covered for each other till they found escape
Found escape
Found escape in their own way

He's behind the door
It's all behind him and he's sure
He's found their substitute for an encore
Cut into their palms
Shared a kiss while holding hands
Taking their first steps over again

The joy of vicious circles
Have to see each other smile
They'll do it if the other does it first
Holds a hope they'll stay together
Holds her hand and wonders whether
Strangers or they'll one day get to meet

She's there at the edge now
Bravely got her head down
Begun to understand now how it pulls
He's silenced by the glory
He's full of sound and fury
Funny how there's not a sound at all

They took it all away
All away
All away
Oh, how they found escape
Found escape
Found escape and they're away

Oooh...

It just occurred to me:
I need a use for sympathy
It just occurred to me:
I need a you to set me free
All the way.
