lyrics

you could lie with me tonight
now the traffic lights are flashing black and white
and you're alive again

we could leave the factory life
now the fire we used to strip ourselves beside
is growing wild again

if you'll take the risk we can sing along
to my secret list of forbidden songs
long as you can tell me what you've done and where you've gone

were you reading the bible
learning the bad words
did you get sanctified
by the blackbirds

did you do any violence
or make any scenes
is there a secret prayer you want me to receive

you say blame your paper route
or the armchair where you waited out your youth cos life was elsewhere

I say blame your birthday suit
or the bed where all the thoughts you got removed will haunt who lies there

if I want a clue can I hold you close
it's just me and you and the holy ghost
because you believe in alchemy and I don't
is there nothing I can say to make you show

were you reading the bible
learning the bad words
did you get sanctified
by the blackbirds

did you do any violence
or make any scenes
Is there a secret prayer you want me to receive

there was heavy clouds above
there were broken clouds behind
was it motion sickness or was it just the feeling of being alive
you was holding on for love
I was holding on too tight
I said get out if you mean it, stay home if you'll keep it inside

if you want to stay I won't lead you on
we could even do the thing you wanted all along
but then after all is done and said we might get it wrong

were you reading the bible
learning the bad words
did you get sanctified
by those blackbirds

did you do any violence
or make any scenes
is there a secret prayer you want me to receive

are you running or kneeling
being or seeming someone good
giving your sad old smile to the bombed-out neighbourhood

would you say you're a nightmare
or a holy dream
meanwhile the people hold your picture up on tv

cos they don't want to know
cos the've seen it said
but they've never seen it shown
and they couldn't take
what you had to say
and they let you go, and they let you go away
