Christine - Lyrics by Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark


Lyrics
as the sun descends too quickly  behind the distant city  she will ride under the water  she will leave her son and daughter reduced to lying naked  to feed those she holds sacred  she is bare of clothes and beauty  on disply in her nudity if someone calls her name out  all she ever hears are cars  through the window in the bathroom  through the broken glass and bars seeking comfort in the wallet  where she placed eighty dollars  when the last one has departed  she can slide into the darkness and slowly down the river  the current pulls her under  and it bathes her in its splendor  is unmoved by her surrender and faint through the water  the lights like brittle stars  someone called her name out  she no longer hears the cars Christine...             {repeat to fade
}
