Joy Division - Shadowplay Lyrics

Artist: Joy Division

Album: Unknown Pleasures

Genre: Rock

  • Songwriters: Ian Kevin Curtis, Peter Hook, Stephen Paul Davi Morris, Bernard Sumner

To the center of the city
Where all roads meet, waiting for you
To the depths of the ocean
Where all hopes sank, searching for you

I was moving through the silence
Without motion, waiting for you
In a room with a window in the corner
I found truth

In the shadowplay, acting out your own death
Knowing no more
As the assassins all grouped in four lines
Dancing on the floor

And with cold steel, odor on their bodies
Made a move to connect
But I could only stare in disbelief
As the crowds, all left

I did everything, everything I wanted to
I let them use you for their own ends

To the center of the city in the night
Waiting for you
To the center of the city in the night
Waiting for you
