Five Minutes To Midnight

The last message was clear
It's five minutes to midnight
It said we've got nothing to fear
But that don't make it feel right

They've got us on a merry-go-round
I need you to tie me down
I can hear a foreign sound
But I can't hear you

Now that our senses are refined
I need your body next to mine

I can feel your love for me
Just a memory
I can feel your love for me
It's a memory

The next battle is near
I'm beginning to hate it
They put your head on a spear
Triumphantly displayed it

You look at me with your cemetery eyes
I need you to tell me lies
Your situation can be revised
Any time you like

You turn a man into a fragile child
I need you to drive me wild

I can feel your love for me
Just a memory
I can feel your love for me
It's a memory

Just look at you now
Driven to abstraction
You're just learning how
To re-fashion the passion

You look at me with your cemetery eyes
I need you even though you tell me lies
Just look me in the eyes
And let yourself get mesmerised

You turn a man into a fragile child
I need you to drive me wild

I can feel your love for me
Just a memory
I can feel your love for me
We were meant to be

I can feel your love for me
Like you're here with me
Not just a memory

I see you on down the line
You and me, we were doing fine
Can I do it just one more time?

One more time?
One more time?
One more time?
