A song from the X-Files soundtrack \"Songs in the Key of X\". It's a surreal, gothic song that applies now more than ever, with 2012 nearly upon us. I looked all over the web to find the correct lyrics for this song and couldn't find them. Apparently they've never been released and every site has its own interpretation—all of which are clearly false by my ears. And so I worked on this with care, determining line-by-line what I hear in order to achieve, I believe, the correct lyrics.
If You Never Say Goodbye, by PM Dawn
Legs of a goat
The head of a man
Eyes on the camera
Shaking everyone's life
Vultures circle
And smack their lips
The sky goes black
As the lightning grips
Stars are new
A moon without pity
As waves of blood
Poured over the city
It's not a rehearsal
Or special effects
It's the end of a story
It's what happens next
And I say, and I say
It's coming any second
And I say, and I say
In the blink of an eye
And I say, and I say
With a bang and a whimper
And say it's ok
If you never say goodbye
Song of a child
Song of a beast
As it slouches, it slithers
Its way from your face
I dreamt that dream
But what can it mean?
Angels ignored
Devoured with grief
All the people danced
And tore at their clothes
The sky caught fire
And the oceans froze
It wasn't a fable
It wasn't a hoax
With seventeen devils
Speaking of jokes
And I say, and I say
It's coming any second
And I say, and I say
In the blink of an eye
And I say, if I say
With a bang and a whimper
And say it's ok
If you never say goodbye
I saw a chapel
Made of gold
The light is so blue
And the air is so cold
Sounds of home on a microphone
As the rats kept rhythm
On chicken bone
People wept
And swallowed their dreams
They entered like soldiers
They're partying as fools
It isn't insentient
It's not a not a reward
It's a black parachute
With a noose for a cord
And I say, if I say
It's coming any second
And I say, and I say
In the blink of an eye
And I say, if I say
With a bang and a whimper
And say it's ok
If you never say goodbye
And say it's ok
If you never say goodbye
And say it's ok
If you never say goodbye
And say it's ok
If you never say goodbye
And say it's ok
If you never say goodbye
And say it's ok
If you never say goodbye
