Cuts You Up |
I find you in the morning |
After dreams of distant signs |
You pour yourself over me |
Like the sun through the blinds |
You lift me up and get me out |
Keep me walking but never shout |
Hold the secret close, I hear you say |
(Here we go) |
You know the way, it throws about |
It takes you in and spits you out |
It spits you out when you desire |
To conquer it, to feel you’re higher |
To follow it you must be clean |
With mistakes that you do mean |
Move the heart and switch the pace |
Look for what seems out of place |
On and on it goes |
Calling like a distant wind |
Oh, through the zero hour we’ll walk |
We’ll cut the thick and break the thin |
No sound to break, no moment clear |
When all the doubts are crystal clear |
Crashing hard into the secret wind |
You know the way, it twists and turns |
Changing colour, spinning yarns |
You know the way, it leaves you dry |
It cuts you up and takes you high |
You know the way, it’s painted gold |
Is it honey? |
Is it cold? |
You know the way, it throws about |
It takes you in and spits you out |
(Oh…) Cuts you up |
(Oh…) Cuts you up |
(Oh…) Cuts you up |
La, la-la-la-la, la, la-la-la-la-la |
La-la-la-la-la-la, la, la, la |
Oh… |
Oh… |
You know the way, it throws about |
It takes you in and spits you out |
It spits you out when you desire |
To conquer it, to feel you’re higher |
To follow it you must be clean |
With mistakes that you do mean |
Move the heart, switch the pace |
Look for what seems out of place |
(Oh…) Cuts you up |
(Oh…) Cuts you up |
It’s OK, it goes this way |
The line it twists, it twists away |
Cuts you up and spits you out |
Keeps you walking but never shout |
It’s OK, it goes this way |
The line it twists, it twists away |
Cuts you up and spits you out |
Keeps you walking but, ah, never shout |
La, la-la-la-la, la, la-la-la-la-la |
La, la, la-la, la, la, la |
La, la-la-la-la, la, la-la-la-la-la |
La, la-la-la-la, la, la, la, la, la |
La, la-la-la-la, la, la-la-la-la-la |
La, la, la-la, la, la, la |
Oh, oh-oh, oh |
Oh… |
