Observatory – Relationships With Sin lyrics

show me
mercy from this misery
it shouldn't be
no ray of light will seize your window
everything is dead
even the mattress on your bed
it shouldn't be filthy
relationships with sin

so the roads may be quiet
the trains may hum and sigh
the people on the street
walk their lives on by

show me
courage from this cruelty
it couldn't be
wear your carriage like an armour
the radio says
now that everything's in place
it couldn't be
how you let them slap you on your face

so the song may be nice
the faces may entice
the people swallow whole
as art is realized
show me
meaning from this comedy
it wouldn't be
a room like this is never vulgar
why the walls are red?
the children who will never sing
it wouldn't be
summer steps will never spring

so the heads may deny
the bodies may defy
the people & their lives
how they slip on by.
