PETER GABRIEL - Exit Through You lyrics

rate me

Exitin' the shower I forgot to wash my heart Now the dust has turned to mud Since we've been apart This angel whispered in my ear As I brushed my teeth She said "Muddy hearts work twice as hard And still can barely beat" I know it's true I exit through you You always did understand That time ticks away Everything you ever give To cure you of delay We've both been here so very long Now we just pretend To be head over heels in love Like we've been saved again It's true I exit through you Exit through you What use is it to wash that stuff away? In every place that we have run to All that we've begun with was here to stay (Exitin' the shower I forgot to wash my heart Now the dust has turned to mud Since we've been apart This angel whispered in my ear As I brushed my teeth She said "Muddy hearts work twice as hard) And still can barely beat" Your eyes like brandin' irons Make impressions on my skin I burn so very easy When I'm proud of who I am It feels like rigor mortis But it tastes like bubblegum All these words you need to say They're on the tip of your tongue It's true I exit through you Exit through you What use is it to wash that stuff away? In every place that we have run to All that we've begun with was (t)here to stay When my days have been clocked And all the gates have been locked When the way is all blocked I exit through you There's only one way out (Exitin' the shower I forgot to wash my heart Now the dust has turned to mud Since we've been apart This angel whispered in my ear As I brushed my teeth She said "Muddy hearts work twice as hard) And still can barely beat" There's only one way out Only one way out (Exitin' the shower I forgot to wash my heart Now the dust is turned to mud Since we've been apart This angel whispered in my ear As I brushed my teeth She said "Muddy hearts work twice as hard) And still can barely beat" Only one way I exit through you (Exit through you) One way out
