Universe (the Fall And Decline) Lyrics

Cuddly Toys Universe (the Fall And Decline)

The Fall And Decline (Universe)


Dust filtered cinema, catching the light of
the sun through a hole, in a wall
A dwelling of ghosts and of previous children
“Don’t leave me alone” cried the cinema
“Don’t leave me alone”

Spectral projectionists, crying alone after
show-close at ten o’clock, we cannot leave
performance for phantoms begins right on midnight
“Don’t leave me alone” cried the cinema
“Don’t leave me alone”

(Chorus) “Stay with me, watch with me
don’t go to sleep on me
The film has just started,
I want you to sit by me…”
The fall and decline
Of the ‘Universe’…(repeat chorus)

Marshall committee men, assigned to an order
to make you a market-hall, there’s no escape
So crack all your walls, so no-one can change you
“Don’t leave me alone” cried the cinema
“Don’t leave me alone”

(Repeat Choruses)

“Don’t leave me alone”, cried the cinema
“Don’t leave me alone”, don’t leave me alone,
don’t leave me alone”, don’t leave me alone”…
