Patti Smith - Dead To The World lyrics

Dead to the world my body was sleeping on my mind was nothing at all come a mist an aire so appealing I'm here a whispering you summouned I called I formed me a presence whose aspect was changing oh he would shift he would not shift at all we sat for a while he was very engaging and when he was gone I was gone on a smile With a strange way of walking and a strange way of breathing more lives than a cat that let me astray all in all he captured my heart dead to the world and just slipped away I heard me a music that drew me to dancing lo I turned under his spell I opened my coat but he never came closer I bolted the door and whispered oh well With a strange way of walking and a strange way of breathing more lives than a cat that let me astray all in all he captured my heart dead to the world and just slipped away I laid in the rushes the air was upon me wondering well I just couldn't discern will he come back come back to me oh I whispered will you ever return I was feeling sensations in no dictionary he was less than a breath of shimmer and smoke the life in his fingers unwound my existence dead to the world alive I awoke With a strange way of walking and a strange way of breathing less than a breath of shimmer and smoke the life in his fingers unwound my existence dead to the world alive I awoke alive I awoke alive alive I awoke alive I awoke alive I awoke alive I awoke I awoke alive I awoke alive alive-o alive alive-o
