The people I love keep on dying
and the people I love keep on moving away
somebody just went out to Paris
somebody to a country, I can't pronounce its name.
Sierra and me keep on trying
but I always seem to be to late for the train
I keep on dying
but the cigarettes take time
the drugs take the edge away.
Sierra was dancing with her cowboy hat on
dancing all night to all her favourite songs
at random parties.
Changed the needle on the record machine
Changed the rhythm, then changning the scene
So it seemed.
It's a cigarette she needs
Then she falls asleep.
On blue days she was lying in castles in clouds in the blue blue skies
she dresses to impress us
still looks sad
but nobody ever knows why.
Center of attention
all the people too close, but they're still too far
look at her dressed up as a bad idea
we're taking this to far.
Sierra was dancing with her cowboy hat on
dancing all night to all her favourite songs
at peoples' parties.
Changed the needle on the record machine
Changed the rhythm, then changning the scene
So it seemed.
A man is his own prison she said
She read it in a magazine.
The people I love keep on dying
and the people I love keep on moving away
somebody just went out to Paris
somebody to a country, I can't pronounce its name.
Sierra she was trying
Sierra you see
was always late for the train
Sierra you see
kept on dying
the cigarettes took time
the drugs took Sierra from me.
