Lyrics:

Flash in the dark, now take aim
A tiny spark turns into a flame
Who will take the blame?
Without a trace, no face, no name
Nobody else can play the game

Feathers fly
But only I can see each marginal, terminal sign
You can try to run
But know that I will spy
Your shadow in the corner of my eye

Been back to this place
Ten thousand times in a fortnight
Now I see the signs
But I dunno your face
There's holes in the case
You'll play any ace on a dime
It's a race 'gainst time
And space in my mind
Fills with faces and clues
I am pacing around
All these traces of you
I bet you think you're cunning
But darling, just try running away
I'll have my day

Flash in the dark, now take aim
A tiny spark turns into a flame
Who will take the blame?
Without a trace, no face, no name
Nobody else can play the game
Feathers fly
Only I can see each marginal, terminal sign
You can try to run
But know that I will spy you
Hiding in the corner of my-

I know a million and one ways to hell
Are all spiralling into your gravity well
Every shadow I glimpse in each flicker of light
Fades away so fast into the night

Another flash in the dark, now take aim
A tiny spark turns into a flame
Who will take the blame?
Without a trace, no face, no name
Nobody else can play the game
Feathers fly
Only I can see each marginal, terminal sign
In this deathly dance
It only takes one look, one glance
Somebody's gotta take a chance
You only get to cross me once
