LYRICS

Sensation In The Dark.
Once upon a time I took to melody and drank it every night,
A dedicated pacifist;
No fistfights, no antagonistic knocking out lights.
Sensations in the dark

A century of shadows lifted upwards,
And discarded to thin air,
Now I could speak my mind to others' mothers,
Without blushing up to my curly hair,

Sensations in the dark

And with a bright air of madness and flair,
You introduced me to great new ideas,
So you did, so you did, that's right.
Well little, little by little we were pulled apart,
By forced come to play,
Well colour, colour, colour coded I was designated,
Emigrated out of your way,
Though we were pulled apart,
The memories outlast,
Adventures in the past,

Sensations in the dark
