  • Calm those vowels down
    No-one's thinking of you right now.
    She's dressed up - It's her duty to the town.
    It's empty. It's vast.
    But it imposes it's will.

    In a crowded room
    Her painted features smothered in the gloom
    Already resigned
    At night she scrapes
    Away the face that she creates
    The mirror sighs

    Why can't we always meet
    Under a cloud of mystery?
    The noise from a hundred mouths
    Working through memory

    Big budget, Showbiz exit
    She'll go far.
    Acting coy was her favourite ploy
    It quickly loses its charm.

    The frosted cheek you turned
    Will add to your mystique
    He burns for you.
    I threw myself into your world
    Only to come up short

    Why can't we always meet
    Under a cloud of mystery?
    The noise from a hundred mouths
    Working through memory

    King for a Thursday afternoon
    Before the time when you withdrew
    Why can't we always meet
    Under a cloud of mystery?

    Bathroom lights stud the evening
    Where the buildings skim the air
    Hairsprayed curls push the cheek
    As they swoon on a wooden dance floor
    There's nothing worse than taking a chance
    On an outdated dance

    Why can't we always meet
    Under a cloud of mystery?
    The noise from a hundred mouths
    Cursing through memory

    King for a Thursday afternoon
    Before the time when you withdrew
    Why can't we always meet
    Under a cloud of mystery? Writer/s: Archis Tiku, Duncan Robert Lloyd, Lukas James Wooller, Paul Anthony Smith, Thomas Alexander English
