Cry

Siouxie and the Banshees

1991

Cry for the bird with broken wing

Cry for the world that will not spin

Cry for the loss of innocence

Cry for a love, turned loveless

Sometimes I think of you, when I'm alone

Oh no Cry...

Nothing will ever be the same

All is ruined and put to shame

Tears and stars are one and the same

When I look up through my focused lens

But sometimes I think of you, when I'm alone

Oh no Cry... tears and stars confide, collide then die

Deep inside tears run dry, but I cry and cry.

Tiger skins and elephant tusks

In guilted mountains seep disgust

I look at you and I want to speak

For once in a while be a man and weep

'Cos all the dolphins and whales have gone

All good tidings and hopes have blown

All our nightmares are flying home

And it's too late to do anything but...

Cry...

Tears and stars collide, confide then die

Deep inside tears run dry, but I cry and cry

Cry...
