Anni Hogan - Death Bed Diva Lyrics

Death Bed Diva

Well I heard they dropped the curtain in the midst of your applause
And by the time they turned the house lights on they were heading for the doors
Your name's on every billboard and in every magazine
Your shadow's a reminder of the places where you've been

Walk - Walk On! Keep your eyes on the prize and your ear to the ground.

So far away, far from today
I looked up, I looked everywhere, I looked round
And it was gone

Well you know all that there is to know, and so much more besides
You know the phases of the moon and the patterns of the tides
You lost your love to chloroform and the waving of a hand
You see the ground beneath your feet but you just don't know where you stand

Walk - Walk On! Keep your eyes on the prize and your ear to the ground.

So far away, far from today
I looked up, I looked everywhere, I looked round
And it was gone

Holding back the rush of blood that lurks beneath my skin
Terrible, tyrannical it stalks me from within
I should have seen it coming, I could have smelt its breath
But I was too preoccupied with planning my own death

Walk - Walk On! Keep your eyes on the prize and your ear to the ground.

So far away, far from today
I looked up, I looked everywhere, I looked round
And it was gone
