This time of night I could call you up I'd get angry with athletic ease, break common laws in twos and threes If I die clutching your photograph Don't call me boring, it's just 'cause I like you Oh take me on back, take me on back, you take me back To the place where I could feel your heart Is this the end or just the start of Something really, really beautiful? Wrapped up and disguised as something really, really ugly Won't you... Come by and see me, I'm a love letter away I'd break your name before I'd say: I really love you, love you No, I don't care if you saw, I watched every inch of film Flash across your Roman features And I loved it, loved it, no I don't care if You think I'm eager to shut your eyes, well I'm sorry - everybody knows, you can't break me with your gutter prose Would you believe it? She sent me a letter The ring, it nearly weighs her down, she's got another boy, oh boy Steady your ears, steady your ears and read my lips Poetry is not a luxury, it's how I'll break this home And when I'm really ill, won't you cradle me? Man is not a noble animal, but maybe woman is, remember I heard you... Inside your room, you said: You never really live Until your back's against the wall Oh did you really mean it? No, I never break my gaze If just to see this scar remain reflected in your eyes I think it's time to go home Oh, tell me your thoughts, tell me your thoughts on liberty See, there's a place where I sink to sleeping She said Oh, my vote is as red as my blood Will you join me for another round? I haven't had the chance to speak yet God speed... I break the law once every week to feel your touch What's a book to you in bed? Do you feel better, older? Say: This just makes me ill, your name is dripping from my pen Still you're not around to curse I've gotta drop the gun now, say I'm still under you Marianne, let the ghosts sleep tonight Marianne, let the ghosts sleep, just shut your eyes and burn the past Marianne, let the ghosts sleep tonight Marianne, let the ghosts sleep, just shut your eyes and burn the past Marianne, let the ghosts sleep tonight Marianne, let the ghosts sleep, just shut your eyes and burn the past Marianne, let the ghosts sleep tonight Marianne, let the ghosts sleep, just shut your eyes and burn the past away
