I'm shivering in a dream
I embrace the impatient rain
It erases the city of bricks and smoke stacks
'Til they trickle through the cracks
Minutes in coma, words crippled
Our bodies just stutter this dance of estrangement
Hired cars going home
Meanders through the knots of train tracks
Of bridges and blast furnaces
The tattered welcomes of neon above
Minutes in coma, words crippled
Our bodies just stutter this dance of estrangement
Tempted to the knife's edge
Exhausted by tenderness
Our hearts beat like war drums
Our hearts beat like war drums
The warm glows of restaurants
The harsh white of hip cafes
Fume stains and walkways
Swirl in vertigo of whispers and promises
Circling faster and faster
Minutes in coma, words crippled
Our bodies just stutter this dance of estrangement
Tempted to the knife's edge
Exhausted by tenderness
Our hearts beat like war drums
Our hearts beat like war drums
