in my dreams they come in to collect
|
I got something that they want
|
and I don¡¯t know what it is
|
but you hid it in my luggage
|
like a needle in a haystack
|
so I¡¯m running like a criminal
|
I¡¯m sneaking round each corner
|
in a phone booth, through a window
|
and the air is cold around me
|
and I¡¯m runnin¡¯
|
for my life
|
|
borrow beg or steal
|
everything is real
|
one day you might feel
|
all right again
|
|
so I kissed you on the lips
|
you were sleeping
|
like a racehorse in the evening
|
all that power of motivation
|
and the endless broken omens
|
and I don¡¯t know if I love you
|
but I really wanna own you
|
and I¡¯ve kept you like a secret
|
from the moment that I found you
|
|
we can make a deal
|
everything is real
|
one day I might feel
|
all right again
|
|
and I can write my way out of this pain
|
that¡¯s a promise that you made me
|
in a letter that you sent me
|
from Chicago on a freezing day in winter
|
now I feel a little lighter
|
but it really doesn¡¯t matter
|
cause this love is not obedient
|
and it¡¯s got its own agenda
|
and it wants to take me over
|
and it wants to pull you under
|
and it would like nothing better
|
than to tear us both to pieces
|
and it won¡¯t do
|
what it¡¯s told
|
|
show me how you feel
|
everything is real
|
one day it¡¯ll be
|
all right again
|
|
one day it¡¯ll be
|
all right again
|
