Dazzle Lyrics

[Intro]
The stars that shine and the stars that shrink
In the face of stagnation, the water runs before your eyes

[Verse 1]
Swallowing diamonds, a cutting throat
Your teeth when you grin reflecting beams on tombstones
A jamboree of surprises, playing Russian roulette or the Lucky Dip
A clenched fist to your heart, coal dust on your lungs

[Verse 2]
A silver tongue for the chosen one
Heavy magnum in your side, or a bloody thorn
Skating bullets on angel dust in a dead sea of fluid mercury
Baby piano cries under your heavy index and thumb
Pull some strings, let them sing

[Chorus]
The stars that shine and the stars that shrink
In the face of stagnation, the water runs before your eyes

[Bridge]
Dazzle, it's a glittering prize
Dazzle, it's a glittering prize
Before your eyes, it's a glittering prize
[Outro]
The stars that shine and the stars that shrink
In the face of stagnation, the water runs before your eyes

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
