Plastic Paperbacks |
Once I had money but now I’m so far from home |
Once I was loved by a woman but now there’s nothing but cold stone |
I was hard, man but what was there to understand? |
Along that wind, were you searching for the start of sin? |
Journeys taken in search of that terrible eye |
Turned over horizons under which no sun wants to lie |
But that trust which comes into the thick of it |
I got that back with a stack of plastic paperbacks |
But to love you, oh, to love you |
But to love you, oh, to love you |
One by one I pressed those letters in your hand |
Like a Gutenberg Bible burning at midnight on the sand |
You’ve been up, held where innocence has never dwelled |
But that’s all right, there’s a Bible burning giving light, oh |
But to love you, oh, to love you |
But to love you, oh, to love you |
We’ve got all night to stare into the anthracite |
The cold black flame, we’ve been burning plastic paperbacks again, oh |
Ooh, oh |
