Hey, they say you died in your sleep
From a poison vapour leak
In 1917
You were only 23
And the time I saw you last
Was in a piece of broken glass
When you moved across the room
And I smelled your cheap perfume
Late, the candles cast long shadows
No matter where you are
Shiver! In the apartment where I live
And the death that you relive
Is too close to my bed
And it replays in my head
You are the ghost in the machine
You are the ghost in my routine
And I find you quite obscene
'Cause the way that you make me fiend
Late, the candles cast long shadows
No matter where you are
The candles cast long shadows
I, I don't know what to do
'Cause your body, I see through
Though I could not see your face
Though I saw your breath on the mirror
And there's one thing that you should know
That's that I fell for you long ago
And everything that I do
It begins and ends with you
Late, the candles cast long shadows
No matter where you are
The candles cast long shadows
Adelaide? (There's no one there)
