Shadowplay

This song is a cover of Joy Division's 1979 track written by Ian Curtis of the same name. The Killers were tapped to do the cover for the 2007 film "Control" which was based on Ian Curtis' life in his later years. Joy Division is one of The Killers' biggest influences.

[Verse 1] 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 Well, I was moving through the silence without motion Waiting for you In a room without a window in the corner I found truth [Verse 2] 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 bodies Made a move to connect But I could only stare in disbelief As the crowds all left Woo! [Bridge] 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 Woo!
