Lyrics Consequences - Tim Booth

Consequences

You came across confidently lost
Subdued, relationship had cost
Fear of loving
Breakthrough.
Followed by a period of calm
He’ll do
Keep you out of harm
Lick your war wounds
Lost cause, doesn’t even phone
False dawns.
Better off alone
Dead man walking
You’re crossing the line
Between the thought and deed
There’s consequences
You’re crossing the line between desire and need
There’s consequences
Just a thought turned into an act
Just an act.
No turning back
Road less taken
Tell the truth are you satisfied
Modern life leaves a lot to be desired
Storm approaching
You’re crossing the line
Between the thought and deed
There’s consequences
You’re crossing the line between desire and need
There’s consequences
Consequences ripple to the shore
Consequences ripple to the shore
Started out in love — ended up in war
Transgress.
Keep it all on ice
Can you keep a secret for the rest of your life
You’re crossing the line
Between the thought and deed
There’s consequences
You’re crossing the line between desire and need
There’s consequences
You’re crossing the line
Between the flower and weed
The borderline
Your body is breaking open is open
Desire desire desire desire
Your body is breaking open is open
Desire desire desire desire
Your body is breaking open is open
Desire (consequences) desire desire desire
