The Cure One Hundred Years (Studio Demo) lyrics

It doesn't matter if we all die
Ambition in the back of a black car
In a high building there is so much to do
Going home time a story on the radio

Something small falls out of your mouth
And we laugh
A prayer for something better
A prayer for something better

Please love me meet my mother
But the fear takes hold
Creeping up the stairs in the dark
Waiting for the death blow

Waiting for the death blow

Stroking your hair as the patriots are shot
Fighting for freedom on the television
Sharing the world with slaughtered pigs
Have we got everything? She struggles to get away

The pain and the creeping feeling
A little black haired girl
Waiting for Saturday
The death of her father pushing her

Pushing her white face into the mirror
Aching inside me and turn me around
Just like the old days, just like the old days
Just like the old days, just like the old days


Caressing an old man
And painting a lifeless face
Just a piece of new meat in a clean room
The soldiers close in under a yellow moon

All the shadows and deliverance
Under a black flag a hundred years of blood
Crimson a ribbon tightens round my throat
I open my mouth and my head bursts open
A sound like a tiger thrashing in the water

Thrashing in the water
Over and over
We die one after the other
Over and over

We die one after the other
One after the other
One after the other
One after the other
One after the other

It feels like a hundred years
One hundred years
One hundred years
One hundred years
A hundred years
