Leading Man Songtext

von Wolfsheim

Talking loud
She's talking clear
But no one really wants to hear
No one really wants to know
And her loneliness still grows
Was it shame or was it fear
When his devious face appeared
And the wall between them grows
The wall between them grows
Tonight'velvet nights

He met her on the schoolyard
Funny man behind the fence
Started with a real deception
He didn't try mine
Whose failures
Who wants more
A tall man offering sweets
No one wants to think about it
And evil shows its seeds
He tries to hold her in his arms
He always tries to keep her warm
Blew a girl grown up too fast
Lost her innocence it's lost
Cruel event shelled in her heart
Breaks dependence is a part
And now he's bagging on his knees
Lay her guilty hands on me
And the wall between them grows
The wall between them grows
Tonight'velvet nights

I should be so lucky
But I can't help feeling blue
I felt no real attention
And satisfied by youth
You grew up
A lonely child
Without a human shape
Made the greatest sacrifice
Realized it much too late'tonight
'too late?
