Pains Of Being Pure At Heart - The Body lyrics

rate me

Come on now stop staring at the ceiling

Your last daydream is slowly unreeling

Won’t you come out tonight, like I know you want to

‘cuz the city’s alive and even though it haunts you, I want you

To tell me again what the body’s for

‘cuz I can’t feel it anymore

I want to hurt like it did before

We shouldn’t sin

Tell me again what the body’s for

‘cuz I can’t feel it anymore

I lost mine and I need yours,

It’s only skin, we could swim

You try so hard to keep it together,

and you look so hard in fishnets and leather

But I know who you are, you are just a lost saint

And if we go too far, there’ll be heaven to pay

and what a price…

I can’t feel it anymore, tell me again what the body’s for

I can’t feel it anymore, tell me again it’s only skin, we should swim
