band of holy joy - bitten lips lyrics
[verse 1]
you know she’s not as tall as on the screen but then
we’re engaged in creating dreams
i watched from the window of a coffee bar as she was
hustled into the back of a friend’s car
i was having a quiet drink after the late picture show
prince was on the jukebox, outside it began to snow
silently [?] all those leading dreams
in a world where everything is just what it seems
[chorus]
and i wanna spend a day with you
without doing the things you’re meant to do
why won’t you let me into your room
yours is a playground and mine
it’s a tomb
it’s a tomb
it’s a tomb
it’s a tomb
[verse 2]
everybody wanted to know her
i looked on as her boyfriend was reduced to a helpless gopher
surrounded by everyone, touched by no+one
for ever, and ever, and ever
[chorus]
and i wanna spend a day with you
without doing the things you’re meant to do
why won’t you let me into your room
yours is a playground and mine
it’s a tomb
it’s a tomb
it’s a tomb
it’s a tomb
[bridge]
“you know it’s all i’ve ever wanted; well, that and romance”
but for a flash did i catch a tired, vulnerable glance
as if she’s the one who wrote the satanic verses
and all the passing taxi cabs turned into he+rs+s
and eye in every window [?] giving out the fear
chapman and his ilk for a moment lingered here
so what other ghosts have the ’80s given us so far?
i turned my attention back to the bar
a million unknown voices all whisper the same thing
transferring anxiety to a vision on the screen
celluloid+framed, that immortal smile
life in itself is more fragile
[chorus]
and i wanna spend a day with you
without doing the things you’re meant to do
why won’t you let me into your room
yours is a playground and mine
it’s a tomb
it’s a tomb
it’s a tomb
it’s a tomb
[verse 3]
earlier i’d listened to what she’d said on tv
all the things that people say when they’re on tv
“sometimes i read my mail and i get a little scared
tired moments late at night when my nerves are bared”
[chorus]
and i wanna spend a day with you
without doing the things you’re meant to do
why won’t you let me into your room
yours is a playground and mine
it’s a tomb
it’s a tomb
it’s a tomb
it’s a tomb
[outro]
life must go on
the second hand’s gone
trust in yourself
(and i wanna spend a day with you)
anyway, always
(without doing the things you’re meant to do)
and the night will take care of itself
(why won’t you let me into your room)
yeah the night will take care of itself
(yours is a playground and mine)
you know she’s not as tall as on the screen, but then
(it’s a tomb)
we’re engaged in creating dreams
(it’s a tomb)
dreams
(and i wanna spend a day with you)
(without doing the things you’re meant to do)
(why won’t you let me into your room)
(yours is a playground and mine)
