Marc Almond - Sleeping Beauty lyrics

City of decaying dreams Where under pink skies gold spires gleam Glitter like a dying fire Daring the angels to fly higher Galina dances under red strars Throwing kisses to the dead Czars Shoulders of a million souls Keep afloat the city Memories of a million men that died Just a keep her pretty Galina dances on the red stars Throwing kisses to the dead Czars And the soldier do their duty In the thighs of sleeping beauty, sleeping beauty Where the Czars took a trip Hallucinagenic sinking ship Down sad can*ls and endless streets Dark canyons where lovers meet Galina dances under red stars Throwing kisses to the dead Czars And the soldiers do their duty In the thighs of sleeping beauty, sleeping beauty A wedding cake slowly decaying Fading as the band is playing A dancer swirls in her torn dresses Sleeping beauty now confesses Sins of the dead princesses Where the power of the world meet Or kneeling at an icons feet Dancing in our drunken dreams Here nothing is quite as it seems
