Lyrics

In this renaissance
I trace my first response
Upon your silhouette, your bareness
The dormant form beneath your purple dress

A tender century
She's worn it just for me, ashore
And lipstick across this, lipstick across this stream

The dawn hides just below my feet
How far I've fallen just to do your bidding
Led aimless through the streets,
I watch the dawn drawn pale beside a burning building

We spot a black patch in the ice
Cinders born of steam
And oil to grease our palms
Are we capable of ordinary indiscrepancies?
As fever fills my gloves
Am I capable of ordinary love?

The fawn lies hidden underneath
How long I've ridden just to be forgiving
Led gently by the sleeve
The fawn still stalling in a burning building

Come and be a child with me, be a child with me, be a child
Come and be a child with me, be a child with me, be a child
Tread the lonely mile with me, be a child with me, be a child
Would you prefer a love song?
Would you prefer the song unwritten?
The warmth withdrawn, the fire submitting?

An unused gun drawn quietly from beneath
How often I've given to feel unfulfilling
Whispered swift between the teeth
Only the gun resists inside a burning building
