Figurative Theatre (Klute version)

In the shallow holes of a thousand eyes
In the knee-deep graves of future survivors

Their razor-sharp tongues invite to relax
As they slip the skin of your eyelids back
Invasive spectators get into the act

With roses and candles, silver knives and spoons
Silver knives and spoons

The luxuries of past days are
The luxuries of our days
The luxuries of past days are
The luxuries of our days
