| Violent arms, violent sun
|
| Violent arms, violent sun
|
| And you realise you don’t know how long
|
| That the river has been sweeping you along
|
| Past the dreams and the colour and the moment
|
| And the way the light is entering your eyes
|
| And the problem that you’re having with your mind
|
| And the tears and the venom and the plasma
|
| And the patterns in her rippling hair
|
| Are collapsing into animal prayer
|
| And you might get out if only you could read them
|
| And you heard it from the whispering wall
|
| Like the miracle of anything at all
|
| There’s a way that you don’t ever have to be a
|
| Lunatic or an error
|
| Or a prisoner of your terror
|
| I’m too old to be crying out
|
| I wanna be there
|
| When the wild wave comes
|
| And we’re swept away
|
| I wanna be there
|
| When the wild wave comes
|
| For us
|
| And she takes you in her violent arms
|
| And you stare into the violent sun
|
| And you know this will be gone in the morning
|
| And the flesh in the machinery jams
|
| And they come to take the rest of our hands
|
| But the feeling of her skin on your fingers
|
| And you can barely make a silhouette out
|
| And you open your ventriloquist mouth
|
| And the words are wrong but in the right order
|
| And you know it has to happen tonight
|
| And you feel it for the very first time
|
| And she’s saying you don’t always have to be a
|
| Lunatic or an error
|
| Or a prisoner of your terror
|
| I’m too old to be crying out
|
| I wanna be there
|
| When the wild wave comes
|
| And we’re swept away
|
| I wanna be there
|
| When the wild wave comes
|
| For us
|
| When the wild wave comes
|
| (I'm on my knees)
|
| Hey, I wanna be there
|
| When the wild wave comes
|
| And we’re swept away
|
| I wanna be there
|
| When the wild wave comes
|
| For us
|
| Then she takes you in her violent arms
|
| And you stare into the violent sun
|
| And the words are wrong but in the right order
|
| And she takes you in her violent arms
|
| And you stare into the violent sun
|
| And you know this will be gone in the morning |
