From the album "Dogs in the Traffic" (1991)
Lyrics:
You slipped into my bloodstream through a severed vein
Anaesthetised the pain in a heart of lead
Now, I know that you're not heaven sent
Maybe what you said wasn't what you meant
It went straight to my head
And in your room the street light
Was shimmering like a magic lantern
And I thought I must be there
With your lips like ether, leaving me blind
You take me to a higher place, leave me behind
I feel that I'm on hallowed ground
I never allowed anyone to shelter me
I chewed the words till they sounded like lies
But then you came, kicked down my door
I saw you shine like a lighthouse on the shore
The sunrise in your smile
Somewhere in the silence
I rise above the fear, the violence
You let me be rich for a while
With your lips like ether, leaving me blind
You take me to a higher place, leave me behind
I feel that I'm on hallowed ground
Though yours is not the air that I breathe
Though I'm lost to all the beauty you see
I want to believe
I want to believe
You slipped into my bloodstream through a severed vein
Anaesthetised the pain in a heart of lead
I was hungry, I was weak
But what at the time seemed so oblique
I won't forget
And sometimes when I'm with you
I feel that nothing bad could happen to me
But now I know, that is not true
With your lips like ether, leaving me blind
You take me to a higher place, leave me behind
I feel that I'm on hallowed ground
With your lips like ether..
