A Billion Balconies Facing the Sun (demo) Songtext
von Manic Street Preachers

We′ve finally found a way
To consume boredom every day
We've all become our personal Gods
We′ve all become so sad and lost

So sad, so sad
So sad and lost

A billion balconies facing the sun
A billion faces turned to the screens
A perfect answer to camouflage our screams
A billion lies to cover the truth
An ecstasy of the eye
That's why there's eternity tonight
That′s why there′s eternity tonight


We found expression for our hate
Without any kind of consequence
Who needs patience anymore
When all our pleasure's virtual?
Pleasures, pleasures
Pleasures virtual

A billion balconies facing the sun
A billion faces turned to the screens
A perfect answer to camouflage our screams
A billion lies to cover the truth
An ecstasy of the eye
That′s why there's eternity tonight
That′s why there's eternity tonight

A billion balconies facing the sun
A billion faces turned to the screens
A perfect answer to camouflage our screams
A billion lies to cover the truth
An ecstasy of the eye
That′s why there's eternity tonight
That's why there′s eternity tonight
