Waterhole lyrics

Artist  : Marillion 
Song : Waterhole
 
(fish / marillion)

When the taxis gather in mock solemnity
Funeral hearses court the death of virginity
Was it paradise lost or paradise found? 
Did we gain respect or were we holding ground? 
You had found true love, or so you believed
And the wideboys tattooed your hearts upon their
sleeves

So when you think it’s time to go, when you think
it’s time to go
Don’t be surprised, the heroes never show

And the patter merchants selling false
impressions
Tipping eyes at the waitress with american
expressions
Tie angels to the bar with sweet martini’s and
their charms
They’re lying on every word and every arm
They’re turning down their noses to the best
lines
And the cheap wines

And the wideboys
They wear their lovebites for their crimes

So when you think it’s time to go, when you think
it’s time to go
Don’t be surprised, the heroes never show
