Emily lyrics - missing words

Post by Richard »

Can anyone help me with the missing lyrics?

"I'd do anything to survive" (to survive...to survive)
I don't really think about it too much
I just close my eyes
Question is...big man...pig man (?)...would you...
Get down on your knees to survive?
Nocturnal shades of blue dance before her eyes
And call to me...pleading please...don't lie
In her darkest hour
Emily knows
The fate of whores...
Who lie down... (lie down)
And swear the sacred words
She said
"Love was just something I did to survive"
"Love was just something I gave to you to get by"
Like a circus clown with her painted frown
Sun going down... (harvest!)
Where will you run to now?
You've betrayed all...who cared (with your harvest!)
"Love was just something I did to survive"
"Love was just something I gave to you to get by"
It never changes
It goes round
And round
Round
And round
And round!
You've got the need I got...you suck me or you rot...
Go ahead and rot!
"Love was just something I did to survive"
"Love was just something I gave to you to get by"
"Love was just something I did to survive"
"Love was just something I gave to you to get by"
To survive
(...Spoken foreign language parts...anyone?...) "I was just trying to survive in your wicked world"
Yesterday is dead and gone
Tomorrow is out of sight

-- Dawn Crosby - "Drift"
