Don says:

Don’t fall in love with a moral monster.

lyrics

The night before I break your heart
It seems for all the world that you’re convinced
That we could always go on dancing
Like we’re dancing tonight

It’s the night before I break your heart
And soon you’ll know at last that you’re unwanted
When you thought you were entrancing
You were never that bright

I do it all for the feeling of it
For the feeling
The feeling
If you only could you’d do the same

The night before I break your heart
Your blinded eyes adore me
You’re relying on the Permanence of passion
In the face of despair

And even in the flashing light
You think that you can see into my soul
Beyond my current sense of fashion
But I am what I wear

I do it all for the feeling of it

As we dance, the music twirls us round
Shows us off as if the world has found
Its faith in love
But the music is as deceived as you are

The night before I break your heart
I’ll savor every second of this final hour
We’re spending here together
We’ll go out in style

How precious is your innocence!
And even though you bore me
And our glory was as fleeting as a feather
I’ll remember your smile

I do it all for the feeling of it
For the feeling, The feeling
If you only could you’d do the same
(Break your heart in two)
Just remember when you curse my name

The only thing I know for sure
The only thing I can’t ignore
I wanna feel it more and more
And that is why the night before I reach my goal
THe night before I crush your soul
I throw myself into the dance
I find the feeling is enhanced
The sweeter it’ll be to see your sorrow
When I break your heart tomorrow.


I’m just feeding my eternal flame
