Steve Kilbey - Running From The Body lyrics

rate me

You've been here before

I've seen that face before I opened the door to you

You've got the power

That's why I like you

Yes it's true

(Grant)

Inside on the ceiling

black above the deathbed.

There's a bandage on the curtain

across the window. It moves but

does not move.

(Steve)

Deep, deep in a room patiently

shining in the darkness

surrounding. Small details

dissolving, the moment it comes

penetration is due

You've got the power

That's why I like you

Yes it's true

(Grant)

Outside there's a wind crawling

up the hill to the top of the

trees. Moving through a melody

of grief it sounds like running

from the body.

(Steve)

You're coming up through,

nobody sees you, but I do.

First notice the feeling

and then the sound as the

flesh breaks through

(Grant)

I said it all, was that all

I said, yeah I said it all

was that all I said

(Steve)

You've got the power, that's

why I like you

Yes it's true

He's been driving since 1943

Never sent a postcard home

What about them bones in the orchard wall

Yeah he's running from the body

Yes it's true

Raise your right hand and swear to tell the truth, the whole

truth, and nothing but the truth
