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 too 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
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
