A Short Term Effect - The Cure

作词：Robert Smith/Robert Smith

作曲：Robert Smith/Simon Gallup/Laurence Tolhurst/Robert Smith

Movement

No movement

Just a falling bird

Cold as it hits the bleeding ground

He lived and died

Catch sight

Cover me with earth

Draped in black

Static

White sound

A day without substance

A change of thought

An atmosphere that rots with time

Colours that flicker in water

A short term effect

Scream

As she tries to push him over

Helpless and sick

With teeth of madness

Jump jump dance and sing

Sideways across the desert

A charcoal face

Bites my hand

Time is sweet

Derange and disengage everything

A day without substance

A change of thought

The atmosphere rots with time

Colours that flicker in water

A short term effect

A short term effect

An echo

And a stranger's hand

A short term effect

An echo

And a stranger's hand

A short term effect
