The daughter of the angel
The daughter of the man
Tied her bloody ribbon
To the belly of the lamb
Nightime in the rising surf
Roll numbers in the sand
We sing of everything
Just slipping through our hands
Don't take it back
Don't make me see the way
It used to be
That single kiss of heaven
Left its seed
Inside the man
You and me
Never found the light of day
Killing time
Never found a better way
Crossing lines
We're spinning round again
I was looking for a place to live but
I just found a place to stay
And we were just like dancers
On the edge of empty space
We were just the losers
At the end of every race
I guess I always loved you
I know I always will
You got that raven on your shoulder
And a taste for looking ill
The nurses in the hospital
They listened to each word you said
You tunnelled in and found yourself
Some space inside my head
You and me
Never found the light of day
Killing time
Never found a better way
Crossing lines
We're spinning round again
I was looking for a place to live but
I just found a place to stay
If only we had voices
If only we had tongues
If only we had substance
If only we were young
