Dark Globe

Placebo · Box Set [2009]

Oh where are you now?

Pussy willow that smiled on his leaf

When I was alone

You promised a stone from your heart

My head kissed the ground

I was half the way down

Spinning the sand



Please

Please lift a hand, i'm only a person

who's arm bends beyond, his hands hang tall

Won't you miss me?

Wouldn't you miss me at all?



My head touched the ground

I was half the way down

Strumming the sand



Please lift a hand, i'm only a person

Who's eskimo chain have tattered my brain

All the way

Won't you miss me?

Wouldn't you miss me at all?
