Hold On To Yourself |
I’m so far away from you |
Pacing up and down my room |
Does Jesus only love a man who loses? |
I turn on the radio |
There’s some cat on the saxophone |
Laying down a litany of excuses |
There’s madhouse longing in my baby’s eyes |
She rubs the lamp between her thighs |
And hopes the genie comes out singing |
She lives in some forgotten song |
And moves like she is zombie-strong |
Breathes steady as the pendulum keeps swinging |
You better hold on to yourself |
Well, cities rust and fall to ruin |
Factories close and cars go cruising |
In around the borders of her vision |
She says ooh |
As Jesus makes the flowers grow |
All around the scene of her collision |
You know I would, yes, I would |
I would hold on to yourself |
In the middle of the night |
I try my best to chase outside |
The phantoms and the ghosts and fairy-girls |
On 1001 nights like these |
She mutters open sesame and Ali Baba and his forty thieves |
Launch her off the face of the world |
You know one day I’ll come back and I’d hold on to yourself |
To yourself, I’d hold on to yourself |
Ooh baby, I’m a 1000 miles away |
And I just don’t know what to say |
Cause Jesus only loves a man who bruises |
But darling, we can clearly see |
It’s all life and fire and lunacy |
And excuses and excuses and excuses |
Well, you know if I could, I would |
I’d lie right down and I’d hold on to yourself |
Yeah, I would lie right down and I would hold on to yourself |
One day I’ll come back to you and I’d hold on to yourself |
Yeah, I’m gonna come back, gonna lie down |
And I would hold on to yourself |
Yeah, to yourself |
