 Just like a celluloid dream she burnt on acetate
Stealing every last scene just smouldering away
Tonight the radio said that now you've passed and gone
As something deep inside breaks, your memory lingers on
The face of the century
This cruel, twisted destiny
A fatal intensity
That crossed beyond control
For what it appears to be
Is life taken needlessly
But how much you mean to me
God only knows
Tender is the night, I'm lost on the interstate
Tender is the dream with nothing to say
Tendrils of light covered whimsical vanity
Render the white to grey
Tender is the night and soft is the tourniquet
Tender is the theme of tears in the rain
Slender is the knife on the wings of insanity
Taking your life away
They made a suicide claim with no one else to blame
I know you must have cried out for help that never came
On just how many broken dreams you built your life upon
Remains a mystery and now your suffering has gone
The face of the century
This beautiful entity
A fatal intensity
That crossed beyond control
For what it appears to be
Is life taken needlessly
But how much you mean to me
God only knows
As cruel as love is
