Lyrics

Roll me some more dice
I think that it's late
This gambler's all smoky
but you can read his fate
Let's find a train somewhere
that's not running late
The smoke's in your eyes
it's not easy to say
Goodnight
Sweet lover goodnight

You can see that my thoughts
are not with me tonight
I tried to retrieve them
but I can't reach behind
The door that won't open
is shaped through the scream
I'd give all my tokens
to step into this dream
Goodnight
Sweet lover goodnight

Yes once romantic pictures
Hung on the walls on fixtures
Heroes froze in all your mirrors
You danced with the somnambulist

Now this clock on the wall
it looks ready to burst
But the night flows on
and it can't be traversed
Every mirror's occupied
and every role's been reversed
And there's nothing left
Of your dreams, nothing left
Goodnight
Sweet lover goodnight

Who could you trust
when all men told you lies
Your body scorched with lust
and fishermen's eyes
You listen so hard
on the ground as you lie
You can hear the cold trembling angels
who wait in the sky
Goodnight
Sweet lover goodnight

Yes, once romantic pictures
Hung from your walls on fixtures
Heroes froze in all your mirrors
You danced with the somnambulist

Words now that swell this paper
Unravel the last sleepwalker
Extinguish your candle with fingers
You're dancing tonight with the somnambulist
