CABARET VOLTAIRE - MICROPHONIES
Come into a dusty room.
Sitting down with empty papers.
Wipe your smoke through the hallways.
Someone whispers in the darkness.
Might be here, way too long.
All alone in this new light.
This isn't love in wartime.
Blue, blue, strip you blue.
Blue, blue, strip you blue.
This star, like a die is cast.
Nice talking, under wraps.
Tracing their every movement.
Seducing me in wartime.
Scatter the dusty papers.
But it's late, the time clicks over.
I am, still moving. I feel, her voice is nearer.
With me, I'm part of you.
Return, to these rooms.
Come back to, blue heaven.
Blue, blue, strip you blue.
Blue, blue, strip you blue.
Come into dusty rooms.
Sit down with empty papers.
Wipe the smoke through the hallways.
Someone whispers in the darkness.
Might be there, way too long.
Scatter the dusty papers.
Come back to, blue heaven.
Blue, blue, strip you blue.
Blue, blue, strip you blue.
Blue, blue, strip you blue.
Blue, blue, strip you blue.
This could be the end of it all.
There's a woman in the woods behind you,
No time to step and crawl.
No time to tip-toe.
In this security -- work, you, I don't dig.
Shut down.
This could be the end of it all.
This could be the end of it all.
All you wanted, a view of your own.
Now awaiting, Judgement Day.
Flash past, the art escapes you.
Never there in black and white.
There's a lesson to be learned.
Living on the words of others.
Selling something like you sell yourself.
Money in the bank, but you're under pressure.
This could be the end of it all.
This could be the end of it all.
There's a lesson to be learned.
Selling something like you sell yourself.
Money in the bank, but you're under pressure.
This could be the end of it all.
This could be the end of it all.
Power in the new line, call it strong.
Everything for positive reason.
Evil, comes too easy.
Never at a tender scratch.
s on the side, but you're under pressure.
It's over, the worst behind you.
No time to step and grow.
No time to, tip-toe.
In your security, work, you, I don't dig.
Shut down. Shut down.
This could be the end of it all.
This could be the end of it all.
There's a lesson to be learned.
Living on the words of others.
Selling something like you sell yourself.
Money in the bank, but you're under pressure.

Power in the new line, call it strong.
Everything for positive reason.
Hold my ears against the wall,
Cannot hear a word at all.
What you do when catching rays,
Reaching for eternity.
We're waiting.
When? When? When? When?
I'm so jagged, I'm afraid.
In this place where nothing's safe.
Someone elucidates.
It's late. Too late!
We're waiting.
When? When? When? When?
We're waiting.
When? When? When? When?
Tell me when it's all divided,
Tell me where it's all decided.
Watching useless stand in line.
Everyone, there comes a time.
We're waiting.
Better set yourself in motion.
Running down this rocky road.
Everywhere is webs and tangles,
Everywhere is hidden angles.
We're waiting.
When? When? When? When?
Tell me where it's all decided.
Tell me when it's all divided,
We're waiting.
We're waiting.
We're waiting.
We're waiting.
When? When? When? When?
I'm so jagged, I'm afraid.
In this place where nothing's safe.
Someone elucidates.
It's late. Too late!
We're waiting.
When? When? When? When?
Everything. Devoured.
I learn to hold my, will power.
(x2)
When it comes, it falls in pieces.
Eating holes and gems unbound.
Birds and hearts and flags and everything.
Chorus:
Said, everything. Devoured.
I learn to hold my, will power.
(chorus)
Money matters. Does mercy matter?
Suddenly, as things are clearer,
See the sights are getting nearer.
(chorus 2x)
Money matters. Does mercy matter?
Suddenly, as things are clearer,
See the sights are getting nearer.
(chorus 2x)
Money matters. Does mercy matter?

See the sights are getting nearer.
Everything. Devoured.

(chorus)
When it comes, it falls in pieces.
Eating holes and gems unbound.
Birds and hearts and flags and bugs.

His head is not his memory.
Visions coming, one, two, three.
Trickle up, trickle down.
Wearily, we come unwound.
Sensoria, sensoria, sensoria, sensoria.
In hard times, hard thrills.
Reaching for the chosen pills.
Dragnets will pull you in.
Tell you that you're deep in sin.
Sensoria, sensoria, sensoria, sensoria.
In hard times, hard thrills.
Reaching for the chosen pills.
Dragnets will pull you in.
Tell you that you're deep in sin.
Sensoria, sensoria, sensoria, sensoria.
Once you were a lonely playboy.
Heading for a simple joy.
Trickles up, trickles down.
Frankly, I don't give a damn.
Sensoria, sensoria, sensoria, sensoria.
In hard times, hard thrills.
Reaching for the chosen pills.
Dragnets will pull you in.
Tell you that you're deep in sin.
Sensoria, sensoria, sensoria, sensoria.
Her new father, where and when?
Reaching for a giddy end.
Like a girl on a rainy day.
Have the needs to keep it sane.
Sensoria, sensoria, sensoria, sensoria.
Senses reaching fever pitch.
Reaching for a giddy end.
Like a girl on a rainy day.
Have the needs to keep it sane.
Sensoria, sensoria, sensoria, sensoria.
His head is not his memory.
Visions coming, one, two, three.
Trickle up, trickle down.
Wearily, we come unwound.
In hard times, hard thrills.
Reaching for the chosen pills.
Dragnets will pull you in.
Tell you that you're deep in sin.
Sensoria, sensoria, sensoria, sensoria.
Sensoria, sensoria, sensoria, sensoria.
Have the needs to keep them sane.
Sensoria, sensoria, sensoria, sensoria.
Sensoria, sensoria, sensoria, sensoria.
Ingenuity my secret rival. Fly, fly, and I am waiting. She said, he said. Just someone, and. But it's slowly turning 'round. You keep hearing, every sound. Running into mines and fires. Laughing at the situation. Like spies. Like spies in the wire. Dark eyes in the wire. Like spies in the wire. Catch a mirror, the lines are dancing. Like a mirror, it's growing faceless. Find a way, the special service. Keep it down, keep it harmless. Like spies. Like spies in the wire. Dark eyes in the wire. Like spies in the wire. Ingenuity finds secret rival. Fight the fire, and I am waiting. She said, he said. Just start, that heart. Like spies. Like spies in the wire. Dark eyes in the wire. Like spies in the wire. Like spies in the wire. Catch at work, the lines are dancing. Like a mirror, it's growing faceless. Find a way, the special service. Keep it round, keep it harmless. Like spies. Like spies in the wire. Dark eyes in the wire. Like spies in the wire. Like spies in the wire. Like spies in the wire.
