Leading Men Lyrics

Talking loud, she's talking clear

But no one really wants to hear

No one really wants to know

And her loneliness still grows

Was it shame or was it fear

When his devil's face appeared?



And the wall between them grows

The wall between them grows

Tonight, velvet night



He met her on the school yard

Funny man behind the fence

Started with a real deception

He didn't try in vain

Who has failed this, who once more?

A tall man offering sweets

No one wants to think about it

And evil sows its seeds



He tries to hold her in his arms

He always tries to keep her warm

Blue-eyed girl, grown up to fast

Lost her innocence at last

Cruel revenge hurt in her heart

Breaks dependences apart

And now he's begging on his knees

Lay your guilty hands on me!



And the wall between them grows

The wall between them grows

Tonight, velvet night



I should be so lucky

But I can't help feeling blue

I felt no real attention

Unsatisfied by youth

You brought up a lonely child

Without a human shape

Made the greatest sacrifice

Realized it much too late

Too late
