Ian McCulloch - New Direction lyrics

Out on a limb Did you see what the cat dragged in Take it on the chin Catching fire on a roof of tin You've learnt to speak and you're professing The right to teach us our direction But I found out on close inspection True imperfection I'm looking for a new direction Where in the world am I? I took the word the word was resurrection Then you took me out to climb Higher and higher Higher and higher Higher and higher Kissing the spires Higher and higher Higher and higher Higher and higher Souls on fire Inside of my head I heard what the good Lord said "Beware" he said If you don't you might end up dead You s** the air right out of me But though you s** you cannot see That life and living is not free Though you live you do not breathe I'm looking for a new direction Where in the world am I? I took the word the word was resurrection And then you took me out to climb Higher and higher Higher and higher Higher and higher Kissing the spires Higher and higher Higher and higher Higher and higher Souls on fire I have changed But still my heart Remains intact And true love stays But will our hearts Retain their lack of No sense and no direction Who in the world am I? I took the word the word was resurrection And then you took me out to climb Higher and higher Higher and higher Higher and higher Kissing the spires Higher and higher Higher and higher Higher and higher Souls on fire Start confessing Start confessing All my evils would be blessed If to God I did confess Wipe the slate and see if I Ate the bread and drank the wine So as you're leaving I take possession Just take the bottle and start confessing
