The wretched desert takes its form
The jackal proud and tight In search of you I feel my way Through the slowest heaving night Whatever fear invents I swear it make no sense I reach out through the border fence Come down, come talk to me In the swirling, curling storm of desire Unuttered words hold fast With reptile tongue, the lightning lashes Towers built to last Darkness creeps in like a thief And offers no relief Why are you shaking like a leaf? Come on, come talk to me Ah, please talk to me Won't you please talk to me We can unlock this misery Come on, come talk to me I did not come to steal This all is so unreal Can't you show me how you feel now Come on, come talk to me Come talk to me Come talk to me The earthly power sucks shadowed milk From sleepy tears undone From nippled skin as smooth as silk The bugles blown as one You lie there with your eyes half closed Like there's no one there at all There's a tension pulling on your face Come on, come talk to me Won't you please talk to me If you'd just talk to me Unblock this misery If you'd only talk to me Don't you ever change your mind Now your future's so defined And you act so deaf so blind Come on, come talk to me Come talk to me Come talk to me I can imagine the moment Breaking out through the silence All the things that we both might say And the heart it will not be denied Till we're both on the same damn side All the barriers blown away I said please talk to me Won't you please come talk to me Just like it used to be Come on, come talk to me I did not come to steal This all is so unreal Can you show me how you feel now Come on, come talk to me Come talk to me Come talk to me I said please talk to me If you'd just talk to me Unblock this misery If you'd only talk to me Don't you ever change your mind Now your future's so defined And you act so deaf so blind Come on, come talk to me Come talk to me Come talk to me |

(Ahhhhhh, ahhh)
So, you know how people are When it's all gone much too far The way their minds are made Still, there's something you should know That I could not let show That fear of letting go And in this in moment, I need to be needed With this darkness all around me I like to be liked In this emptiness and fear I want to be wanted 'Cos I love to be loved I love to be loved I love to be loved Yes I love to be loved I cry the way the babies cry The way they can't deny The way they feel Words, they climb all over you, 'Til they uncover you From where you hide And in this moment, I need to be needed When my self-esteem is sinking, I like to be liked In this emptiness and fear, I wanna be wanted 'Cos I love to be loved, I love to be loved I love to be loved, Oh I love to be loved This old familiar craving I've been here before This way of behaving Don't know who the hell I'm saving any more Let it pass let it go let it leave From the deepest place I grieve This time I believe And I let go, And I let go I can't let go of it Though it takes all the strength in me And all the world can see I'm losing such a central part of me I can't let go of it You know I mean it You know that I mean it I recognize how much I've lost But I cannot face the cost 'Cos I love to be loved Yes I love to be loved I love to be loved Yes I love to be loved I love to be loved Yes I love to be loved I love to be loved I love to be loved I love to be loved Yes I love to be loved |

I caught sight of my reflection
I caught it in the window I saw the darkness in my heart I saw the signs of my undoing They had been there from the start And the darkness still has work to do The knotted chord's untying The heated and the holy Oh, they're sitting there on high So secure with everything they're buying In the blood of Eden Lie the woman and the man With the man in the woman And the woman in the man In the blood of Eden Lie the woman and the man We wanted the the union Oh, the union of the woman The woman and the man My grip is surely slipping I think I've lost my hold Yes, I think I've lost my hold I cannot get insurance anymore They don't take credit, only gold Is that a dagger or a crucifix I see You hold so tightly in your hand? And all the while the distance grows between you and me I do not understand In the blood of Eden Lie the woman and the man With the man in the woman And the woman in the man In the blood of Eden Lie the woman and the man We wanted the the union Oh, the union of the woman The woman and the man At my request, you take me in In that tenderness, I am floating away No certainty, nothing to rely on Holding still for a moment What a moment this is Oh, for a moment of forgetting A moment of bliss Ohh I can hear the distant thunder Of a million unheard souls Of a million unheard souls Watch each one reach for creature comfort For the filling of their holes In the blood of Eden Lie the woman and the man With the man in the woman And the woman in the man In the blood of Eden Lie the woman and the man We wanted the union Of the woman and the man In the blood of Eden Lie the woman and the man I feel the man in the woman And the woman in the man In the blood of Eden Lie the woman and the man I feel the man in the woman And the woman in the man In the blood of Eden We have done everything we can In the blood of Eden So we end as we began With the man in the woman And the woman in the man It was all for the union Oh, the union of the woman The woman and the man |

Only us
Only us Only us It wasn't in the words that kept sticking in their throats It wasn't with the angels in their quilted coats These battered wings still kick up dust Seduced by the noise and the bright things that glisten I knew all the time I should shut up and listen And I'm finding my way home from the great escape The further on I go, oh the less I know I can find only us breathing Only us sleeping Only us dreaming Only us I hear you calling me Yes I hear you calling me Home from the great escape Yes I can read you loud and clear The further on I go, oh the less I know Friend or foe, there's only us The further on I go, oh the less I know I can find only us breathing Only us sleeping Only us dreaming Only us Only us I'm coming home again, home again And I hear you calling me home again I am coming home again Only us Only us Only us Only us Only us Only us Only us Only us |

River, river carry me on
Living river carry me on River, river carry me on To the place where I come from So deep, so wide will you take me on your back for a ride If I should fall would you swallow me deep inside River, show me how to float I feel like I'm sinking down Thought that I could get along But here in this water My feet won't touch the ground I need something to turn myself around Going away, away toward the sea River deep, can you lift up and carry me Oh roll on though the heartland 'Til the sun has left the sky River, river carry me high 'Til the washing of the water make it all alright Let your waters reach me like she reached me tonight Letting go, it's so hard The way it's hurting now To get this love untied So tough to stay with thing 'Cause if I follow through I face what I denied I get those hooks out of me And I take out the hooks that I sunk deep in your side Kill that fear of emptiness, loneliness I hide River, oh river, river running deep Bring me something that will let me get to sleep In the washing of the water will you take it all away Bring me something to take this pain away |

Something in me, dark and sticky

I stood in this unsheltered place
'Til I could see the face behind the face All that had gone before had left no trace Down by the railway siding In our secret world we were colliding All the places we were hiding love What was it we were thinking of? So I watch you wash your hair Underwater, unaware And the plane flies through the air Did you think you didn't have to choose it That I alone could win or lose it In all the places we were hiding love What was it we were thinking of? In this house of make believe Divided in two, like Adam and Eve You put out and I recieve Down by the railway siding In our secret world we were colliding In all the places we were hiding love What was it we were thinking of? Oh the wheel it is turning, spinning round and round And the house it is crumbling but the stairways stand With no guilt and no shame, no sorrow or blame Whatever it is, we are all the same Making it up in our secret world Making it up in our secret world Making it up in our secret world Shaking it up Breaking it up Making it up In our secret world Seeing things that were not there On a wing on a prayer In this state of disrepair Down by the railway siding In our secret world we were colliding In all the places we were hiding love What was it we were thinking of? Shh, listen... |
