Florence And The Machine Ceremonials Lyrics
1.Only If For A Night

And I had a dream
About my old school
And she was there all pink and gold and glittering
I threw my arms around her legs
Came to weeping
Came to weeping
And I heard your voice
As clear as day
And you told me I should concentrate
It was all so strange
And so surreal
That a ghost should be so practical
Only if for a night
And the only solution was to stand and fight
And my body was loose and I was set alight
But you came over me like some holy rite
And although I was burning, you're the only light
Only if for a night
And the grass was so green against my new clothes
And I did cartwheels in your honor
Dancing on tiptoes
My own secret ceremonials
Before the service began
In the graveyard doing handstands
And I heard your voice
As clear as day
And you told me I should concentrate
It was all so strange
And so surreal
That a ghost should be so practical
Only if for a night
And the only solution was to stand and fight
And my body was loose and I was set alight
But you came over me like some holy rite
And although I was burning, you're the only light
Only if for a night

Madam, my dear, my dame
Tell me what all this sighing's about
Tell me what all this sighing's about

And I heard your voice
As clear as day
And you told me I should concentrate
It was all so strange
And so surreal
That a ghost should be so practical
Only if for a night

Only if for a night


2.Shake It Out

Regrets collect like old friends
Here to relive your darkest moments
I can see the way, I can see the way
And all of the ghouls come out to play
And every demon wants his pound of flesh
But I like to keep some things to myself
I like to keep my issues strong
It's always darkest before the dawn
And I've been a fool and I've been blind
I can never leave the past behind
I can see no way, I can see no way
I'm always dragging that horse around
Our love is past, it's such a mournful sound
Tonight I'm gonna bury that horse in the ground
So I like to keep my issues strong
But it's always darkest before the dawn
Shake it out, shake it out,
shake it out, shake it out, ooh woah
Shake it out, shake it out,
shake it out, shake it out, ooh woah
And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back
So shake him out, oh woah

And I am done with my graceless heart
So tonight I'm gonna cut it out and then restart
Cause I like to keep my issues strong
It's always darkest before the dawn
Shake it out, shake it out,
shake it out, shake it out, ooh woah
Shake it out, shake it out,
shake it out, shake it out, ooh woah
And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back
So shake him out, oh woah

And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back (Shake him out)
And given half the chance
would I take any of it back (Shake it out)
It's a final mess but it's left me so empty (Shake it out)
It's always darkest before the dawn
Oh woah, oh woah...

And I'm damned if I do and damned if I don't
So here's to drinks in the dark at the end of my road
And I'm ready to suffer and I'm ready to hope
It's a shot in the dark and right at my throat
Cause looking for heaven, for the devil in me
Looking for heaven, for the devil in me
Well what the hell, I'm gonna let it happen to me
Shake it out, shake it out,
shake it out, shake it out, ooh woah
Shake it out, shake it out,
shake it out, shake it out, ooh woah
And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back
So shake him out, oh woah
Shake it out, shake it out,
shake it out, shake it out, ooh woah
Shake it out, shake it out,
shake it out, shake it out, ooh woah
And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back
So shake him out, oh woah


3.What The Water Gave Me

Time it took us
To where the water was
That's what the water gave me
And time goes quicker
Between the two of us
Oh, my love, don't forsake me
Take what the water gave me
Lay me down
Let the only sound
Be the overflow
Pockets full of stones
Lay me down
Let the only sound
Be the overflow

And oh poor Atlas
The world's a beast of a burden
You've been holding on a long time
And all this longing
And the shields are left to rust
That's what the water gave us
So lay me down
Let the only sound
Be the overflow
Pockets full of stones
Lay me down
Let the only sound
Be the overflow
'Cause they took your loved ones
But returned them in exchange for you
But would you have it any other way?
Would you have it any other way?
You could have had it any other way

'Cause she's a crueler mistress
And the bargain must be made
But oh, my love, don't forget me
But I let the water take me
So lay me down
Let the only sound
Be the over flow
Pockets full of stones
Lay me down
Let the only sound
Be the overflow
Lay me down
Let the only sound
Be the overflow
Pockets full of stones
Lay me down
Let the only sound
Be the overflow


4.Never Let Me Go

Looking up from underneath,
Fractured moonlight on the sea.
Reflections still look the same to me,
As before I went under.
And it's peaceful in the deep,
Cathedral where you can not breathe,
No need to pray, no need to speak
Now I am under.
Oh, and it's breaking over me,
A thousand miles down to the seabed,
I found the place to rest my head.
Never let me go, never let me go.
Never let me go, never let me go.
And the arms of the ocean are carrying me,
And all this devotion was rushing out of me,
And the crashes are heaven for a sinner like me,
But the arms of the ocean delivered me.

Though the pressure's hard to take,
It's the only way I can escape,
It seems a heavy choice to make,
Now I am under.
And it's breaking over me,
A thousand miles down to the seabed,
I found the place to rest my head.
Never let me go, never let me go.
Never let me go, never let me go.
And the arms of the ocean are carrying me,
And all this devotion was rushing out of me,
And the crushes are heaven for a sinner like me,
But the arms of the ocean delivered me.
And it's over,
And I'm goin' under,
But I'm not givin' up!
I'm just givin' in.
Woooah!
Slipping underneath.
Woooah!
So cold, but so sweet.
In the arms of the ocean, so sweet and so cold,
And all this devotion I never knew went on,
And the crashes are heaven for a sinner released,
But the arms of the ocean... delivered me.
Never let me go, never let me go.
Never let me go, never let me go.
Delivered me.
Never let me go, never let me go.
Never let me go, never let me go.
Never let me go, never let me go.
Never let me go, never let me go.
Never let me go, never let me go.
Never let me go, never let me go.
And it's over,
And I'm goin' under,
But I'm not givin' up!
I'm just givin' in.
Woooah,
Slipping underneath.
Woooah,
So cold, but so sweet


5.Breaking Down

All alone
It was always there, you see
And even on my own
It was always standing next to me
I can see it coming from the edge of the room
Creeping in the streetlight
Holding my hand in the pale gloom
Can you see it coming now?

Oh, I think I'm breaking down again
Oh, I think I'm breaking down

All alone
Even when I was a child
I've always known
There was something to be frightened of
And I can see it coming from the edge of the room
Creeping in the streetlight
Holding my hand in the pale gloom
Can you see it coming now?

Oh, I think I'm breaking down again
Oh, I think I'm breaking down

All alone
On the edge of sleep
My old familiar friend
Comes and lies down next to me
And I can see you coming from the edge of the room
Smiling in the streetlight
Even with my eyes shut tight
I still see you coming now
Oh, I think I'm breaking down again
Oh, I think I'm breaking down again
Oh, I think I'm breaking down again
Oh, I think I'm breaking down again
Oh, I think I'm breaking down


6.Lover To Lover

I've been losing sleep
I've been keeping myself awake
I've been wandering streets
For days and days and days
Going from road to road
Bed to bed
Lover to lover
And black to red
But I believe
I believe
There's no salvation for me now
No space among the clouds
And I feel I'm heading down
But that's alright
That's alright
That's alright
That's alright

And I've been taking chances
I've been setting myself up for the fall
And I've been keeping secrets
from my heart and from my soul
Going from road to road
Bed to bed
Lover to lover
And black to red
But I believe
I believe
There's no salvation for me now
No space among the clouds
And I feel I'm heading down
But that's alright
That's alright
That's alright
That's alright
Road to road
Bed to bed
And lover to lover
And black to red
And road to road
And bed to bed
And lover to lover

No space among the clouds
And I feel I'm heading down
But that's alright
That's alright
That's alright
That's alright
That's alright
That's alright
Road to road
Bed to bed
And lover to lover
And black to red
And road to road
And bed to bed
And lover to lover to lover...

No salvation for me now
No salvation for me now
No salvation for me now
No salvation for me now


7.No Light,No Light

You are the hole in my head
You are the space in my bed
You are the silence in between
What I thought and what I said
You are the nighttime fear
You are the morning when it's clear
When it's over you're the start
You're my head, you're my heart

No light, no light in your bright blue eyes
I never knew daylight could be so violent
A revelation in the light of day
You can't choose what stays and what fades away
And I'd do anything to make you stay
No light, no light, no light
Tell me what you want me to say
Through the crowded islands, crying out at me
In your place there were a thousand other faces
I was disappearing in plain sight
Heaven help me, I need to make it right
You want a revelation,
You wanna get right
But it's a conversation,
I just can't have tonight
You want a revelation
Some kind of resolution
You want a revelation
No light, no light in your bright blue eyes
I never knew daylight could be so violent
A revelation in the light of day,
You can't chose what stays and what fades away
And I'd do anything to make you stay
No light, no light, no light
Tell me what you want me to say
Would you leave me,
If I told you what I've done?
And would you need me,
If I told you what I've become?
Cause it's so easy,
To say it to a crowd
But it's so hard, my love,
To say it to you, all alone
No light, no light in your bright blue eyes
I never knew daylight could be so violent
A revelation in the light of day,
You can't chose what stays and what fades away
And I'd do anything to make you stay
No light, no light, no light
Tell me what you want me to say
You want a revelation,
You wanna get right
But it's a conversation,
I just can't have tonight
You want a revelation
Some kind of resolution
You want a revelation

You want a revelation,
You wanna get right
But it's a conversation,
I just can't have tonight
You want a revelation,
Some kind of resolution
Tell me what you want me to say.


8.Seven Devils

Holy water cannot help you now
A thousand armies couldn't keep me out
I don't want your money
I don't want your crown
See I've come to burn
Your kingdom down

Holy water cannot help you now
See I've come to burn your kingdom down
And no rivers and no lakes can put the fire out
I'm gonna raise the stakes,
I'm gonna smoke you out
Seven devils all around you
Seven devils in my house
See they were there when I woke up this morning
I'll be dead before the day is done
Seven devils all around you
Seven devils in your house
See I was dead when I woke up this morning
I'll be dead before the day is done
Before the day is done

And now all your lies will be exorcised
And we will find your sayings to be paradox
And it's an even sum
It's a melody
It's a final cry
It's a symphony
Seven devils all around you
Seven devils in my house
See they were there when I woke up this morning
I'll be dead before the day is done
Seven devils all around you
Seven devils in your house
See I was dead when I woke up this morning
I'll be dead before the day is done
Before the day is done
Before the day is done
Before the day is done

They can keep me out
'Til I tear the walls
'Til I take your heart
And to take your soul
For what has been done
Cannot be undone
In the evil's heart
In the evil's soul
Seven devils all around you
Seven devils in your house
See I was dead when I woke up this morning
I'll be dead before the day is done
Before the day is done


9.Heartlines

Oh the river, oh the river, it's running free.
And oh the joy, oh the joy it brings to me.
But I know it'll have to drown me,
Before it can breathe easy.
And I've seen it in the flights of birds,
I've seen it in you.
In the entrails of the animals,
The blood running through.
But in order to get to the heart,
I think sometimes I have to cut through.
But you can keep it up
I know you can
Just keep following!
The heartlines on your hand!
Just keep following!
The heartlines on your hand!
Keep it up!
I know you can!
Just keep following!
The heartlines on your hand!
Cause I am

I'm not a sea, you're not a sea and land over land.
Creeping and a-crawling like the sea over sand.
Still I follow heartlines on your hand.
And this fantasy, this fallacy, this tumbling stone.
Echoes of a city that's long overgrown.
Your heart is the only place that I call home,
How can I be returned.
You can
You can
I know you can
Just keep following!
The heartlines on your hand!
Just keep following!
The heartlines on your hand!
Keep it up!
I know you can!
Just keep following!
The heartlines on your hand!

What a thing to do
Oooh
What a thing to choose
But know, in some way I'm there with you.
Up against the wall on a Wednesday afternoon.
Just keep following!
The heartlines on your hand!
Just keep following!
The heartlines on your hand!
Keep it up!
I know you can!
Just keep following!
The heartlines on your hand!
Cause I am.


10.Spectrum

When we first came here
We were cold and we were clear
With no colors in our skin
We were light and paper thin
And when we first came here
We were cold and we were clear
With no colors in our skin
'Til we let the spectrum in
Say my name
And every color illuminates
We are shining
And we will never be afraid again
Say my name
As every color illuminates
We are shining
And we will never be afraid again
Say my name
As every color illuminates
We are shining
And we will never be afraid again
And when we come for you
We'll be dressed up all in blue
With the ocean in our arms
Kiss your eyes and kiss your palms
And when it's time to pray
Dressed up all in grey
With metal on our tongues
And silver in our lungs
Say my name
And every color illuminates
We are shining
And we will never be afraid again
Say my name
As every color illuminates
We are shining
And we will never be afraid again
Say my name
As every color illuminates
We are shining
And we will never be afraid again
And when we come back we'll be dressed in black
And you'll scream my name aloud
And we won't eat and we won't sleep
We'll drag bodies from the ground

So say my name
And every color illuminates
And we are shining
And we'll never be afraid again
Say my name
As every color illuminates
Say my name
As every color illuminates
We are shining
And we will never be afraid again
Say my name
As every color illuminates
We are shining
And we will never be afraid again
Say my name
We are shining
Say my name
Say my name
And we will never be afraid again


11.All This And Heaven Too

And the heart is hard to translate
It has a language of its own
It talks and turns in quiet sighs
In prayers and proclamations
In the grand days of great men
And the smallest of gestures
In short shallow gasps

But with all my education
I can't seem to command it
And the words are all escaping
Coming back all damaged
And I would put them back in poetry
If I'd only knew how
I can't seem to understand it
I would give all this and heaven too
I would give it all if only for a moment
That I could just understand
The meaning of the word you see
'Cause I've been scrawling it forever
But it never makes sense to me at all
And it talks to me in tiptoes
And it sings to me inside
It cries out in the darkest night
And breaks in the morning light
But with all my education
I can't seem to command it
And the words are all escaping
Come back all damaged
I would put them back in poetry
If I'd only knew how
I can't seem to understand it
And I would give all this and heaven too
I would give it all if only for a moment
That I could just understand
The meaning of the word you see
'Cause I've been scrawling it forever
But it never makes sense to me at all

And I would give all this and heaven too
I would give it all if only for a moment
That I could just understand
The meaning of the word you see
'Cause I've been scrawling it forever
But it never makes sense to me at all
No oh oh
Words, poor language
Doesn't deserve such treatment
And all my stumbling phrases never amounted
To anything worth this feeling
All this heaven
Never could describe such a feeling as I'm in
Words were never so useful
So I'm screaming out a language
That I never knew existed before


12.Leave My Body

I'm gonna be released from behind these lines
And I don't care whether I live or die
And I'm losing blood, I'm gonna leave my bones
And I don't want your heart it leaves me cold
I don't want your future
I don't need your past
One bright moment
Is all I ask
I'm gonna leave my body
(Moving up to higher ground)
I'm gonna lose my mind
(History keeps pulling me down)
Said I'm gonna leave my body
(Moving up to higher ground)
I'm gonna lose my mind
(History keeps pulling me, pulling me down)

I don't need a husband, don't need no wife
And don't need the day, I don't need the night
And I don't need the birds let them fly away
And I don't want the clouds,
they never seem to stay
I don't want no future
I don't need no past
One bright moment
Is all I ask
I don't want your future
I don't need your past
One bright moment
Is all I ask
I'm gonna leave my body
(Moving up to higher ground)
I'm gonna lose my mind
(History keeps pulling me down)
Said I'm gonna leave my body
(Moving up to higher ground)
I'm gonna lose my, lose my mind
(History keeps pulling me, pulling me down)
Pulling me down
Pulling me down
Pulling me, pulling me down
I'm gonna leave my body
(Moving up to higher ground)
I'm gonna lose my mind
(History keeps pulling me down)
Said I'm gonna leave my body
(Moving up to higher ground)
I'm gonna lose my mind
(History keeps pulling me, pulling me down)
Yeah, said I'm gonna leave my body
(Moving up to higher ground)
I'm gonna lose my mind
(History keeps pulling me down)
(Moving up to higher ground)
(History keeps pulling me, pulling me down)


13.Remain Nameless

I was born in a big grey cloud
Screaming out a love song
All the broken chords and unnamed cries
What a place to come from

I wish to remain nameless
And live without shame
'Cause what's in a name, oh
I still remain the same
You can call it what you want
You can call me anything you want
You can call us what you want
You can call me anything you want

Everybody lets you down
In this free fall of a town
Born a different soul rushing out
Tell me what you're running from

I know everybody let's you down
And I'll do the same
But know I'll always be around
This can remain the same
Call me when you need me
Call me anything you want
Darling believe me
Nothing I haven't done before
Call me when you need me
Call me when you need me
Call me when you need me
Call me when you need me
Darling believe me
Darling believe me
Darling believe me
Darling believe me
Call me when you need me
Call me when you need me
Call me when you need me
Call me when you need me
Darling believe me
Darling believe me...


14.Strangeness And Charm

Hydrogen in our veins, it cannot hold itself,
my blood is boiling
And the pressure in our bodies
that echoes up above it is exploding
And our particles that burn it all
because they are for each other
And although we stick together
it seems that we are stranging one another
Feel it on me love
Feel it on me love
Feel it on me love
(Strangeness and charm)
See it on me love
See it on me love
See it on me love
(Strangeness and charm)
An atom to atom oh can you feel it on me love
A pattern to pattern oh can you see it on me love
Atom to atom oh what's the matter with me love
Strangeness and charm
The static of your arms, it is the catalyst
You're a chemical that burns
there's nothing like this
It's the purest element but it's so volatile
An equation heaven sent, and you'll forever inject
Strangeness and charm
Feel it on me love
Feel it on me love
Feel it on me love
(Strangeness and charm)
See it on me love
See it on me love
See it on me love
(Strangeness and charm)
An atom to atom oh can you feel it on me love and
A pattern to pattern oh can you see it on me love
Atom to atom oh what's the matter with me love
Strangeness and charm
The static of your arms, it is the catalyst
You're a chemical that burns
there's nothing like this
It's the purest element but it's so volatile
An equation heaven sent
and you'll forever inject
Strangeness and charm...

Strangeness and charm...
The static of your arms, it is the catalyst
You're a chemical that burns
there's nothing like this
It's the purest element and it's so volatile
An equation heaven sent and you'll forever inject
Feel it on me love

(Strangeness and charm)


15.Bedroom Hymns

This is as good a place to fall as any
We will build our alter here
Make me your Maria
I'm already on my knees
You had Jesus on your breath
And I caught Him in mine
Sweating out confessions
The undone and the divine
Cause this is his body
This is his love
Such selfish prayers
And I can't get enough
Oh, whoa, whoa, yeah
I can't get enough
Spilled bitter tears
I did this for you
Spilling over the aisle
The black and the blue
Sweetest submission
Drinking you in
The wine and the women, the bedroom hymns
'Cause this is his body
This is his love
Such selfish prayers
And I can't get enough
Whoa, whoa, yeah
I can't get enough

I'm not here looking for absolution
Because I found myself an old solution
I'm not here looking for absolution
Because I found myself an old solution
This is his body
This is his love
Such selfish prayers,
I can't get enough
This is his body
Oh, this is his love
Such selfish prayers,
I can't get enough
I can't get enough
Whoa, yeah, whoa
I can't get enough
Whoa, whoa, yeah


16.What The Water Gave Me (Demo)

Time it took us
To where the water was
That's what the water gave me
And time goes quicker
Between the two of us
Oh, my love, don't forsake me
Take what the water gave me

Lay me down
Let the only sound
Be the overflow
Pockets full of stones
Lay me down
Let the only sound
Be the overflow

And oh poor Atlas
The world's a beast of a burden
You've been holding on a long time
And all this longing
And the shields are left to rust
That's what the water gave us

Lay me down
Let the only sound
Be the overflow
Pockets full of stones
Lay me down
Let the only sound
Be the overflow
'Cause they took your loved ones
But returned them in exchange for you
But would you have it any other way?

Would you have it any other way?
You could have had it any other way

'Cause she's a crueler mistress
And the bargain must be made
But oh, my love, don't forsake me
Take what the water gave me
Lay me down
Let the only sound
Be the over flow
Pockets full of stones
Lay me down
Let the only sound
Be the overflow


17.Landscape (Demo)

She can't see the landscape anymore
It's all painted in her grief
All of her history etched out at her feet

Now all of the landscape,
it's just an empty place
Acres of longing, mountains of tenderness
Cause she's just like the weather,
can't hold her together
Born from dark water,
daughter of the rain and snow
Cause it's burning through the bloodline
It's cutting down the family tree
Growing in the landscape, darling,
in between you and me

She wants the silence but fears the solitude
She wants to be alone and together with you
So she ran to the lighthouse,
hoped that it would help her see
She saw that the lighthouse
had been washed out to sea
Cause she's just like the weather,
can't hold her together
Born from dark water,
daughter of the rain and snow
Cause it's burning through the bloodline
It's cutting down the family tree
Growing in the landscape, darling,
in between you and me
I wanna give you back the open sky
Give you back the open sea
Open up the ages, darling, for you to see

You put the gun into your mouth to bite
You pull it and spit out
Cause it's running in the family
Oh the rich and
Cause she's just like the weather,
can't hold her together
Born from dark water,
daughter of the rain and snow
Cause it's burning in the bloodline
It's cutting down the family tree
Growing in the landscape, darling,
in between you and me


18.Heartlines (Acoustic)

Oh the river, oh the river, it's running free.
And oh the joy, oh the joy it brings to me.
But I know it'll have to drown me,
Before it can breathe easy.
And I've seen it in the flights of birds,
I've seen it in you.
In the entrails of the animals,
The blood running through.
But in order to get to the heart,
I think sometimes I have to cut through.
But you can keep it up
I know you can
Just keep following!
The heartlines on your hand!
Just keep following!
The heartlines on your hand!
Keep it up!
I know you can!
Just keep following!
The heartlines on your hand!
Cause I am

I'm not a sea, you're not a sea and land over land.
Creeping and a-crawling like the sea over sand.
Still I follow heartlines on your hand.
And this fantasy, this fallacy, this tumbling stone.
Echoes of a city that's long overgrown.
Your heart is the only place that I call home,
How can I be returned.
You can
I know you can
Just keep following!
The heartlines on your hand!
Just keep following!
The heartlines on your hand!
Keep it up!
I know you can!
Just keep following!
The heartlines on your hand!

What a thing to do
Oooh
What a thing to choose
But know, in some way I'm there with you.
Up against the wall on a Wednesday afternoon.
Just keep following!
The heartlines on your hand!
And keep it up!
I know you can!
Just keep following!
The heartlines on your hand!
Cause I am.


19.Shake It Out (Acoustic)

Regrets collect like old friends
Here to relive your darkest moments
I can see no way, I can see no way
And all of the ghouls come out to play
And every demon wants his pound of flesh
But I like to keep some things to myself
I like to keep my issues strong
It's always darkest before the dawn
And I've been a fool and I've been blind
I can never leave the past behind
I can see no way, I can see no way
I'm always dragging that horse around
Our love is past, it's such a mournful sound
Tonight I'm gonna bury that horse in the ground
So I like to keep my issues strong
But it's always darkest before the dawn
Shake it out, shake it out,
shake it out, shake it out, ooh woah
Shake it out, shake it out,
shake it out, shake it out, ooh woah
And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back
So shake him out, oh woah

And I am done with my graceless heart
So tonight I'm gonna cut it out and then restart
Cause I like to keep my issues strong
It's always darkest before the dawn
Shake it out, shake it out,
shake it out, shake it out, ooh woah
Shake it out, shake it out,
shake it out, shake it out, ooh woah
And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back
So shake him out, oh woah

And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back
And given half the chance
would I take any of it back
It's a final mess but it's left me so empty
It's always darkest before the dawn

And I'm damned if I do and damned if I don't
So here's to drinks in the dark at the end of my road
And I'm ready to suffer and I'm ready to hope
It's a shot in the dark and right at my throat
Cause looking for heaven, for the devil in me
Looking for heaven, for the devil in me
Well what the hell, I'm gonna let it happen to me
Shake it out, shake it out,
shake it out, shake it out, ooh woah
Shake it out, shake it out,
shake it out, shake it out, ooh woah
And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back
So shake him out, oh woah

Shake it out, shake it out,
shake it out, shake it out, ooh woah
Shake it out, shake it out,
shake it out, shake it out, ooh woah
And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back
So shake him out, oh woah

Shake it out, shake it out,
shake it out, shake it out, ooh woah
Shake it out, shake it out,
shake it out, shake it out, ooh woah
And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back
So shake him out, oh woah


20.Breaking Down (Acoustic)

All alone
It was always there, you see
And even on my own
It was always standing next to me
I can see it coming from the edge of the room
Smiling in the streetlight
Holding my hand in the pale gloom
Can you see it coming now?

All alone
Even when I was a child
I've always known
There was something to be frightened of
And I can see it coming from the edge of the room
Smiling in the streetlight
Holding my hand in the pale gloom
Can you see it coming now?

Oh, I think I'm breaking down again
Oh, I think I'm breaking down

All alone
On the edge of sleep
My old familiar friend
Comes and lies down next to me
And I can see you coming from the edge of the room
Smiling in the streetlight
Even with my eyes shut tight
I still see you coming now

Oh, I think I'm breaking down again
Oh, I think I'm breaking down again
Oh, I think I'm breaking down again
Oh, I think I'm breaking down again
Oh, I think I'm breaking down
