Can you teach me to ask for the moon?
'Cause I always get stars, and I always get fooled
One day I'll get up and die on a cross
And I won't make a fuss I'll just play you a tune
And while I'm dying I'll sing it to you
And I'll bleed in the sunlight and I won't get you
For keeps in the next life
Yes our love is greater than d**h
Seize my broken soul and kiss my lips
Seize my broken soul and kiss my lips
Mother Mary did I ask for this?
Mother Mary did I ask for this?
With love so strong there's no right or wrong
But we're taking the pills with psychiatry bills
Remember we used to laugh out in this room
Now the walls look at me with the cold eyes of Faust
But this is a love-song, I want you, I need you
I'll love forever, I'll never deceive you
I'll send you my temporal lobe to be placed by your heart
Seize my broken soul and kiss my lips
Seize my broken soul and kiss my lips
Mother Mary did I ask for this?
Mother Mary did I ask for this?
For this
My head hits the pillow, my eyes open wide
With this stinking embrace of irrational fear
Can you teach me to ask for the moon?
Or just settle for mutual autonomy!
But this is a love-song, I want you, I need you
I'll send you my temporal lobe to be placed by your heart
Seize my broken soul …
