Keep Me From Harm (Reprise [Hidden Track])
. . .


Love is all I need
Hope, is what I'm asking for
Lay me down to sleep
It was then that I lost you
Was dragged there too
Under the sea of mystery
Died there along with you

Love me, hold me, keep me from harm
Love me, hold me, keep me from harm

Guess, you found your own root
Dug into that fast heart
Flew, without wing or opinion
Now, you orbit the stars
Now, haunted and weary
Your vision creeps
I need a clear water
I need a release

Love me, hold me, keep me from harm
Love me, hold me, keep me from harm

Lay me down to sleep
Lay me down to sleep
Lay me down to sleep
Lay me down to sleep
Lay me down to sleep
Lay me down to sleep

. . .


Take me on a trip
Take me from the hip
Keep me cool and dry
Round the corner from the dip

It should not veer or lead astray
Or hide me from the truth
Take me soon and make it quick
Oh, I won't need no proof

You call me a liar
You say that you don't need me
Well sure, but I'll still be there reflecting
I've said it before and I'll say it again

"Kill the hate"
Kill, kill the hate, yeah

I've always wanted to hide your problems
Wanted to save you pain
If only just to cover
You and all your stains

There's plenty left where that came from
And nothing I would hide
To make you face oblivion
And shake your, shake your pretty pride

Kill the hate
Kill, kill the hate

I'll see you in the stratosphere
I'll meet you in the show
I'll visit you when you don't look
I'll melt you in the snow
Call your name
I'll laugh and talk aloud
See through your movie moves
I'll poke you with a poke
I'll kill the snake
I'll play you with a bow
I'll kill the hate

Kill, kill
Kill the hate
The hate, hate
The hate
Kill, yeah

. . .


Say you, say you, say you
I can hear the groove, I can spell the words
I can climb the scale, I can ride the curves
I can hit the note, I can beat the beat
I can dance the jump, I can tap my feet
Say you

Getting closer, stop me dreaming
Wanna feel you, you're so close
Can't write now, wanna feel a hit
Can't drive now, wanna phone you

Can't play it very well but it is what I want
And what I want is what it takes
It could be slick it could be fake
It could be anything at all

Get it strong you get all
No chits no thing help that
Just get it written on the wall
Say you

Can't hear you, you're so close
Wanna feel you, you're so close
Can't write now wanna feel a hit
Can't drive now wanna phone you

Say you, say you
I can hear the groove, I can spell the words
I can climb the scale, I can ride the curves
I can hit the note, I can drop the beat
I can dance and jump, I can tap the feet

Can't play it very well but it is what I want
And what I want is what it takes
It could be slick it could be fake
Say you

Can't hear you, you're so close
Wanna feel you, you're so close
Can't write now wanna feel a hit
Can't drive now wanna phone you

Get closer, stop me dreaming
Wanna feel you you're so close
Can't write now, wanna feel a hit
Can't drive now, can't drive now
Can't drive now, can't drive now
Can't drive now

. . .


Roll yourself away from me
Unveil me from your layers
Lay with me
Let me plunder, no betrayal
Shame cast out
Morning sensual fire aroused
Union upon union
In union we'll flower
Sail naked in our funder
Press towards the burst

Drop the sweetest drop
Give the thunder up
Rocking to the top
Sensor none the shame
Cling no more to shame
Ring me in the morning
Take me, take me, in the rain
Oh come with me, eh come with me
Concur and swallow me
Explode secrete your tender
Let's scream out like the sea

Pull me warm and slender
Concur and swallow me
Explode secrete your tender
Let's scream out like the sea
Union upon union
Drop the sweetest drop

I think about you all day
Calling the sacred first
Rolling the sunlit day
Give me what I thirst

Drop the sweetest drop
Give the thunder up
Rocking to the top
Sensor none the shame
Cling no more to shame
Ring me in the morning
Take me, take me in the rain
Oh come with me, eh come with me
Concur and swallow me
Explode secrete your tender
Let's scream out like the sea

Roll yourself away
Immortal burn alive
Rocking to the top
Sensor none the shame
Cling no more to shame
Ring me in the morning
Take me, take me, in the rain
Oh come with me, eh come with me
Concur and swallow me
Explode secrete your tender
Let's scream out like the sea

Drop the sweet
Sweet
Drop the sweet
Chinchi
Chinchi chinchi chinchi chinchi chinchi
Drop the sweet
Drop the sweet
Chinchi
Drop the sweet
Drop the sweet
Chinchi...

You've been away a while, while the art on the box cuts
The streets gone wild, defeated wild
Sitting in the low room where we wind our love loom
Don't you think it's wrong that I should get stuck in a room?

The low room
Low room
Low room
Two, three, uh

I don't know what, what I could do to break the chains?
We talk a lot, we break high ground, high ground no shame
Maybe there's no need to fight against the chains, rations of irrational
Thirsty for the up of secret honey, honey on the lips

Low room
Low, low
Ten
Three, four
Four, push

You're away tonight as the art on the box cuts
Vivid life in action shame as the shock cuts
Stuck in a room, frigid and strained
[Incomprehensible] interaction repeating refrains

In the low room
Repeating the holy names in the low room
Repeating the holy names in the low room
Repeating the holy names in the low room

[Incomprehensible]
Low room
[Incomprehensible]
Push

. . .


Love me now until the end of time
See me over your heart in the night
Never let me go until you see
All the scenery and fakin' fall away from me

Oh, let me love you in the morning light
Oh, let me give you cover until it's alright
Oh, let me feel you come into my arms
La la la, la la, la la, la la la la

The Saints have come over
They stayed all night long
Save your heart 'till the end of time
They say, "Come over now, approach from every side
Give your heart 'till the end of time"

Oh, let me love you in the morning light
Oh, let me see you over until it's alright
Oh, I fall so blue, comin' to your arms
Oh, let me see you over, until it's all

Ohh ohh ohh
Ohh ohh ohh
Ohh ohh ohh
Ohh ohh ohh

. . .


It seems like a day
A day that I call smooth
When you came into my heart I knew
The love was overflowing
And I say
La la la la la
La la la la la la

The day was so long and the night was still
And you kept coming over
To my hill
I would weep for the day
Without you, all the way
You wanted to be free
And doubt would overflow
Just come running to me
'Cause you knew I'd take you home

Then you came into my heart
We knew for a start
Each word like a book
With your spirit flowing over me, yeah
Don't bother to close your heart
Let's drink honey in the park
Swap hats and go for free
To our secret garden
Ohh, please come with me
Ohh, please come with me
Ohh, please come with me

You wanted to be free
And doubt would overflow
Just come running to me

. . .


Let go all the tears of your life the one you left behind
Let the pain of the dream go by it's over
The love is calling, I'm searching
You have gone to be free

The love is calling, I'm searching
You have gone to be free
When the light had gone and the night was over
Yet the feeling will still exist, for you and me

Let go all the tears of your life the one you left behind
Let the pain of the dream go by it's over
And the feeling still exists, for you and me
You have gone to be free

Let go all the tears of your life the one you left behind
Let the pain of the dream go by it's over
Oh, and as you fly past the sign that points to our way
Send your children a whispered song then allow yourself away

One two I am you, you are but a show
Three four there's no more, your red mouth is aglow
Five six no more tricks now I'm feeling clean
The secret yeah it moved so fast had to dive into mid stream

The love is calling, I'm searching
You have gone to be free
When the light had gone and the night was over
Yet the feeling will still exist, for you and me

Let go all the tears of your life the one you left behind
Let the pain of the dream go by it's over
Oh, and as you fly past the sign that points to our way
Send your children a whispered song then allow yourself away

The love is calling, I'm searching
You have gone to be free
When the light had gone and the night was over
Yet the feeling will still exist, for you and me

. . .


Walking in the street, breath the only friend
Strangers pass me by, I'm moving, moving with the wind
Inside me now, the gold, the gold at rainbows end
Stranger to myself, a stranger, stranger till the end

Behind the closed door, the one we painted green
To remind me of the perfect plan

Wash my face in fields of green
Take me to the stars for free
Point me to the high wire, wire call
Wake me true and wake me all

Walk me in the street, take me to a view on high
To an empire state tease, tease and bake me dry
Swerve and turn on me melt me, melt me to the wall
Like an unspent fortune, I'm running, running with the call

Behind the closed door, the one we painted green
To remind me of the perfect plan

Wash my face in fields of green
Take me to the stars for free
Point me to the high wire call
Wake me true and wake me all

Wash my face in fields of green
Take me to the stars for free
Point me to the high wire call
Wake me true and wake me all

. . .


Love is all I need
Hope, is what I'm asking for
Lay me down to sleep
It was then that I lost you
Was dragged there too
Under the sea of mystery
Died there along with you

Love me, hold me, keep me from harm
Love me, hold me, keep me from harm

Guess, you found your own root
Dug into that fast heart
Flew, without wing or opinion
Now, you orbit the stars
Now, haunted and weary
Your vision creeps
I need a clear water
I need a release

Love me, hold me, keep me from harm
Love me, hold me, keep me from harm

Lay me down to sleep
Lay me down to sleep
Lay me down to sleep
Lay me down to sleep
Lay me down to sleep
Lay me down to sleep
