Tears Run Rings Lyrics By Marc Almond

    on heavenly rain you fell into my life
    unforgettable smile unforgettable lies
    in the name of the cross or a banner of love
    with a hand of a friend or under a blanket of trust

    the angels sighed a little girl cried
    the tears run rings around my eyes

    we’re going to set fire to the house in my heart
    we’re going to set fire to the whole damn world
    i don’t understand the wicked things we do
    in the name of the good in the name of the few

    the angels sighed a little girl cried
    the tears run rings around my eyes
    the angels sighed a little girl cried
    the tears run rings around my eyes

    don’t look up at me with your innocent smile
    when the bed is burning around my head
    when a war breaks out it’ll be no surprise
    your unforgettable smile your unforgettable lies

    and i’ve gotta start running to make my start
    we’ve gotta get together before we fall apart

    they’re pulling down the old slums to build the new
    they’re bringing back the old rules to please the few
    in the name of the cross or a banner of love
    with the hand of a friend or under a blanket of trust

    the angels sighed a little girl cried
    the tears run rings around my eyes

    they’re pulling down the old slums to build the new
    pull down the love i built with you
    promise of tomorrow you never kept
    and you tried to burn the house down when i slept
    the nation’s in disorder there’s chaos in my heart
    we’ve got to get together before we fall apart

    before we fall apart
    before we fall apart
    before we fall apart
    before we fall apart
