The Mission Lyrics
"Wasting Away (From Swoon Cd Single)"

Cloaked in black like the stars, so wrapped up in yourself you are

The needle taste sweeter by far than the cold light of day

And as you become enslaved to the puppy that you grief

There is nothing I can do to save you from slipping away

And I just wanted, just needed to say

I hate to see you wasting away, just wasting away

So when you just can't take anymore and the nappy comes too full of pain

You reach for the comfort of your white stallion again

And I just wanted, just needed to say

I hate to see you wasting away, just wasting away

Just wasting away

I've seen the fire die away, I've seen the sunset in your eyes

I've seen the darkness coming down and I just needed to say good bye

So you're dancing with the candy man, he's saving the last words for you

And as he leads you away by the hand there is nothing I can do

There is nothing I can do

Goodbye to you, goodbye to you
