If Only Tonight We Could Sleep
Placebo · Other Songs - Placebo
In a bed made of flowers
If only tonight we could fall
In a deathless smell
If only tonight we could slide
In the deep black water
And breathe, and breathe
And an angel caught
With burning eyes like skull
And burry us deep
In it's velvet's arms
And the rain will cry
As a face's let away
And the rain will cry
Don't let it end
Don't let it end
