Take my shoes and bury them With sand and paper and broken bowels In memory of the lover I'll never be Whose fortune dancers dropped in his arms
Ooh Come Every man and woman take a beam around yours
Missing in the mess-up of all your dreams and prayers Miss the eyes of somebody too sacred Hoping for an innocent heart that could not please the man Who'd waited on you for all your days pay-checks
Take my eyes and bury them I'll never need them to see your God I apologise to my woman for all those tricks and games For the damage I've done For the mess I've made
I spread love Take him, Take it away Don't make a sea-trip Never to see true light again The Church is going to drag you down To the bottom of its birth will it speed I'm the one who brought the axe down I refuse to be set free
Bring me down Ah bring it down There ain't no way to stop this now So close to home Alone beside you here
So every man must become the enemy of his own soul For the ones he loves And I want you I want yours so badly I wanna be strong like the man that I am, boy oh
Break it, Take it away Loathe his reason Never to see the light of day
Missing in the mess-up of all your dreams and plans Miss the eyes of somebody too sacred Hoping for an innocent heart, run-off descent man The way you live for all your days pay-checks
Bring me down Bring me There ain't no way to stop this now So close to home No one must find you here
(repeated x 1)
There's no way to stop this now There's no way to stop this now
