Marillion - Waterhole Lyrics
(fish / marillion)When the taxis gather in mock solemnityFuneral hearses court the death of virginityWas it paradise lost or paradise found?Did we gain respect or were we holding ground?You had found true love, or so you believedAnd the wideboys tattooed your hearts upon their sleevesSo when you think it's time to go, when you think it's time to goDon't be surprised, the heroes never showAnd the patter merchants selling false impressionsTipping eyes at the waitress with american expressionsTie angels to the bar with sweet martini's and their charmsThey're lying on every word and every armThey're turning down their noses to the best linesAnd the cheap winesAnd the wideboysThey wear their lovebites for their crimesSo when you think it's time to go, when you think it's time to goDon't be surprised, the heroes never show
