Shadowplay (The Factory, Manchester Live 11 April 1980)

Shadowplay - Joy Division
To the centre of the city
where all roads meet,
waiting for you,
To the depths of the ocean
where all hopes sank,
searching for you,
moving through
the silence without motion,
waiting for you,
I 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,
odour on their bodie
s 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 centre of the city in the night,
waiting for you,
To the centre of the city in the night,
waiting for you.
