[Verse 1]
Do you really Bbelieve that you can never be D#msure?
They're leaving bodies in G#mstairwells
Washing up on the Eshore
Do you really Bexpect us to care what you're waiting D#mfor?
When you're high in your G#mcastle, keeping an eye on the dEoor
The door, the door
[Pre-Chorus]
If I Bonly see what D#mI can see
I G#mknow it isn't tEhere
And if I Bonly need what D#mI can keep
I G#mknow it isn't fEair
[Chorus]
Oh, baby
You can Blook away
While they're dancing D#mon our graves
But G#mI will stop at nothing
Oh, EI will stop at nothing
And you can Blook away
While they're dancing D#mon our graves
But G#mI will stop at nothing
No, EI will stop at nothing now
[Verse 2]
Do you really Bbelieve that you are one of a D#mkind?
If you don't have a G#mheart I can offer you mEine
Do you really Bexpect that you will always be D#mfine?
When you're high on your G#mthrone
And never toeing the Eline, the line, the line
[Pre-Chorus]
If I Bonly see what D#mI can see
I G#mknow it isn't tEhere
And if I Bonly need what D#mI can keep
I G#mknow it isn't fEair
[Chorus]
Oh, baby
You can Blook away
While they're dancing D#mon our graves
But G#mI will stop at nothing
Oh, EI will stop at nothing
And you can Blook away
While they're dancing D#mon our graves
But G#mI will stop at nothing
No, EI will stop at nothing now
[Bridge]
BLooking away, you're looking away
D#mLooking away, you're looking away
G#mLooking away, you're looking away
From Eall that we've done
BLooking away, you're looking away
D#mLooking away, you're looking away

Oh, EI will stop at nothing
And you can Blook away
While they're dancing D#mon our graves
But G#mI will stop at nothing
No, EI will stop at nothing now
