The Writing's On The Wall Lyrics
Jump to:
Listen, I know it's been hard
You know it’s no different for me
We’re less than a zero-sum game now
And baby, we both know that's not how it's supposed to be
The writing's on the wall
It seems like forever
Since we had a good day
The writing’s on the wall
But I just want to get you high tonight
I just want to see some pleasure in your eyes
Some pleasure in your eyes
I go too hot, and you go too cold
And we both fall apart
Then you bring your mind to rest against mine
But the mind has no say on affairs of the heart
The writing's on the wall
It seems like forever
Since we had a good day
The writing’s on the wall
But I just want to get you high tonight
I just want to see some pleasure in your eyes
Some pleasure in your eyes
Then you bring your mind to rest against mine
But the mind has no say on affairs of the heart
The writing's on the wall
It seems like forever
Since we had a good day
The writing’s on the wall
But I just want to get you high tonight
I just want to see some pleasure in your eyes
Some pleasure in your eyes
I just want to get you high
Just want to get you high
Just want to get you high
Even if it's the last thing we do together
Even if it's the last thing we do together
You know it’s no different for me
We’re less than a zero-sum game now
And baby, we both know that's not how it's supposed to be
The writing's on the wall
It seems like forever
Since we had a good day
The writing’s on the wall
But I just want to get you high tonight
I just want to see some pleasure in your eyes
Some pleasure in your eyes
I go too hot, and you go too cold
And we both fall apart
Then you bring your mind to rest against mine
But the mind has no say on affairs of the heart
The writing's on the wall
It seems like forever
Since we had a good day
The writing’s on the wall
But I just want to get you high tonight
I just want to see some pleasure in your eyes
Some pleasure in your eyes
Then you bring your mind to rest against mine
But the mind has no say on affairs of the heart
The writing's on the wall
It seems like forever
Since we had a good day
The writing’s on the wall
But I just want to get you high tonight
I just want to see some pleasure in your eyes
Some pleasure in your eyes
I just want to get you high
Just want to get you high
Just want to get you high
Even if it's the last thing we do together
Even if it's the last thing we do together

The Writing's On The Wall Info:
• "The writing on the wall" is an expression that suggests a portent of doom or misfortune.
It originates from the Old Testament Book of Daniel Chapter 5, where during a banquet
hosted by King Belshazzar, a mysterious hand appeared and wrote on the palace wall the words,
"Mene, Mene, Tekel, Upharsin". Daniel interpreted this message as the imminent end for
the Babylonian kingdom. Belshazzar was slain that night and the Persians sacked the capital city.
• The set for the video took nearly three weeks to construct in a cavernous Brooklyn lot and the single long shot over 50 attempts to get right. The connection with the song becomes clear during the bridge, when a camera decrypts a message that reads, "I think I understand you, but I don't."
• The video won the 2014 MTV VMA for Best Visual Effects
