There's a man with a face like sorrow
 Now he's gone for good
 How could anyone hold you without feeling good?

 There's a shop where the thoughts that I borrow
 Swim around my head like snow
 How could anyone ignore you?

 So play on, play on, play on
 The skies are made vermillion
 We're singing in a concrete star
 Oh we're all just castles in the cards

 There's a hope in my blood when I see you
 I hear crashing [bad word]  How could any other language hope to lead me on?

 Little sparks in the puddles shoot like darts
 at all the things we might be
 you and me
 and time itself is frozen

 So play on, play on, play on
 The skies are made vermillion
 We're killing all the saints tonight

 Oh play on, you shadows of the light

 So play on, play on, play on
 The skies are made vermillion

 If all I was was all I felt
 Then the sun itself would start to melt
 Into waterfalls pouring down like song
 Oh play on

 So play on, play on, play on
 The skies are made vermillion
 Killing all the saints tonight
 Oh we're all just dancers in the night
