Toyah - I Am lyrics

rate me

My fingers are grass<br />

My tongue the asp<br />

My town a burial mound<br />

<br />

My eyes are jewels<br />

My ears hear fools<br />

And I put them down<br />

<br />

My feet are wings<br />

My body sings<br />

Without a sound<br />

<br />

Eyes of blind ignorance<br />

See a world of despair<br />

Mountains of man<br />

Hide cities too deep<br />

Cool dark graves where bodies creep<br />

<br />

My nose is sharp<br />

It cuts the glass<br />

And then I escape<br />

<br />

My back is flat<br />

Off the beaten track<br />

Am a landscape<br />

<br />

My body and spine<br />

They intertwine<br />

I am a raging snake<br />

<br />

I am at peace<br />

The feeling's neat<br />

Then suddenly I awake<br />

<br />

Eyes of blind ignorance<br />

See a world of despair<br />

Mountains of man<br />

Hide cities too deep<br />

Cool dark graves where bodies creep<br />

<br />

I am a waterfall<br />

I come tumbling<br />

(Tumbling)<br />

Tumbling<br />

(Tumbling)<br />

Down into infinity<br />

Down in journey to the sea<br />

Down, I rain on leaves and trees<br />

On beggars and thieves<br />

I am, I am, I am, I am<br />

<br />

I stand at my window<br />

Wind and moonlight<br />

Fire my hair<br />

<br />

I touch the glass<br />

It can't be seen<br />

But it's always there<br />

<br />

I'm told I'm free<br />

And I believe<br />

Four walls imprison me<br />

<br />

Eyes of blind ignorance<br />

See a world of despair<br />

Mountains of man<br />

Hide cities too deep<br />

Cool dark graves where bodies creep<br />

<br />

My fingers are numb<br />

My tongue is blunt<br />

I am only me<br />

<br />

My eyes are shallow<br />

My ears hollow<br />

I am only me<br />

<br />

My feet are still<br />

I'm unfulfilled<br />

I am only me<br />

<br />

My head's a bed<br />

It feels like lead<br />

My mind is totally free<br />

<br />

I must sleep<br />

(I)<br />

I must sleep<br />

(Am)<br />

I must sleep<br />

(A waterfall)<br />

I must sleep<br />

I must sleep<br />

(I)<br />

I must sleep<br />

(Am)<br />

I must sleep<br />

(A waterfall)<br />

Sleep, sleep <br />

Sleep, sleep
