Shadowplay (Live at The Factory)

From Unknown Pleasures (Collector’s Edition)2007

Lyrics

Shadowplay (Live at The Factory)

[Verse 1] To the center of the city where all roads meet, waiting for you To the depths of the ocean where all hopes sank searching for you I was moving through the silence without motion waiting for you In a room with a window in the corner, I found truth [Verse 2] In the shadowplay, acting out your own death knowing no more As the assassins all grouped in four lines dancing on the floor And with cold steel, odor on their bodies made a move to connect But I could only stare in disbelief as the crowds all left [Outro] I did everything, everything I wanted to I let thеm use you for their own ends To thе center of the city in the night, waiting for you To the center of the city in the night, waiting for you
