Take these hands, they're good for nothingYou know these hands have never worked a dayTake these boots, they're going nowhereYou know these boots they don't want to strayYou got my head filled with songsYou got my shoelaces undoneTake my shirt, go on, take it off meYou can tear it up if you can tie me down Do you feel loved?Do you feel loved?Do you feel loved?Do you feel loved? Take the colours of my imaginationTake the scent hanging in the airTake this tangle of a conversationAnd turn it into your own prayerWith my fingers as you want themWith my nails under your hideWith my teeth at your backAnd my tongue to tell you the sweetest lies Do you feel loved?Do you feel loved?Do you feel loved?And it looks like the SunBut it feels like the rain, oh Love's a bully pushing and shovingIn the belly of a womanHeavy rhythm taking overTo stick togetherA man and a womanStick togetherMan and womanStick together Do you feel loved?Do you feel loved?Do you feel loved?And it looks like the SunBut it feels like the rainAnd there's heat in the SunTo see us through the rainDo you feel loved?Do you feel loved?Do you feel loved?Do you feel loved?

Nobody else here babyNo one here to blameNo one to point the fingerIt's just you and me and the rain Nobody made you do itNo one put words in your mouthNobody here taking ordersWhen love took a train heading south It's the blind leading the blondIt's the stuff, it's the stuff of country songs Hey if God will send his angelsAnd if God will send a signAnd if God will send his angelsWould everything be all right God has got his phone off the hook, babeWould he even pick up if he couldIt's been a while since we saw that childHanging round this neighbourhoodYou see his mother dealing in a doorwaySee Father Christmas with a begging bowlJesus' sister's eyes are a blisterThe high street never looked so low It's the blind leading the blondIt's the cops collecting for the consSo where is the hope and where is the faithAnd the love... what's that you say to meDoes love... light up your Christmas treeThe next minute you're blowing a fuseAnd the cartoon network turns into the news If God will send his angelsAnd if God will send a signAnd if God will send his angelsWhere do we goWhere do we go Jesus never let me downYou know Jesus used to show me the scoreThen they put Jesus in show businessNow it's hard to get in the door It's the stuff, it's the stuff of country songsBut I guess it was something to go on If God will send his angelsI sure could use them here right nowWell if God would send his angels I don't want to lie(where do we go)I don't want to have a feel for the songAnd I want to love, and I...(where do we go)And I want to feel alone

Summer stretching on the grassSummer dresses passIn the shade of a willow treeCreeps a crawling over meOver me and over youStuck together with God's glueIt's going to get stickier too It's been a long hot summerLet's get under coverDon't try too hard to thinkDon't think at all I'm not the only oneStaring at the SunAfraid of what you'll findIf you took a look insideI'm not just deaf and dumbStaring at the SunNot the only oneWho's happy to go blind There's an insect in your earIf you scratch it won't disappearIt's gonna itch and burn and stingYou want to see what the scratching bringsWaves that leave me out of reachBreaking on your back like a beachWill we ever live in peace? 'Cause those that can't doOften have toAnd those that can't doOften have to preach To the onesStaring at the SunAfraid of what you'd findIf you took a look insideNot just deaf and dumbI'm staring at the SunI'm not the only oneWho'd rather go blind Intransigence is all aroundMilitary still in townArmour plated suits and tiesDaddy just won't say goodbyeReferee won't blow the whistleGod is good but will He listenI'm nearly greatBut there's something missing I left it in the duty free areaBut you never really belonged to me You're not the only oneStaring at the SunAfraid of what you'd findYou step back insideNot sucking on my thumbI'm staring at the SunI'm not the only oneWho's happy to go blind

Her eyes are swimming pool blueDumb bells on a diving boardBaby's always attracted to the things she's afraid ofBig girl with the sweet toothWatches the skinny girl in the photo shootFreshmen, squeaky cleanShe tastes of chlorine(Miami), my mammy Love the movies babeLove to walk through the movie setsGet to shoot someone in the footGet to smoke some cigarettesNo big deal we know the scoreJust back from the video storeGot the car and the car chaseWhat's he got inside the caseI want a close up of that faceHere comes the car chase I bought two new suits... MiamiPink and blue... MiamiI took a picture of you... My mammyGetting hot in a photo booth...

If coke is a mysteryMichael Jackson historyIf beauty is truthAnd surgery the Fountain of YouthWhat am I to do?Have I got the gift to get me throughThe gates of that mansion? If OJ is more than a drinkA Big Mac bigger than you thinkIf perfume is an obsessionThen talk shows confessionWhat have we got to lose?I'll never push my way throughThe gates of that mansion I never bought a Lotto ticketI never parked in anyone's spaceAnd the banks feel like cathedralsBecause casinos took their placeLuck, come on downI wake up, she'll come around Chance is a kind of religionWe're down for playin' hard luckI never did see that movieAnd I never did read that bookLuck, come on downAnd let my numbers come around Don't know if I can hold onDon't know if I'm that strongDon't know if I can wait that long'Til the colors come flashing and the lights go on Then will there be no time for sorrow?Then will there be no time for shame?And though I can't say whyI know I've got to believeWe'll go diving in their poolIt's who you know that gets you throughThe gates in the Playboy MansionIn the Playboy MansionThe Playboy MansionThen will there be no time for sorrow?Then will there be no time for shame?Then will there be no time for sorrow?Then will there be no time for pain?

Tonight the Moon is playing tricks againI'm feeling sea sick againThe whole world could just dissolveInto a glass of water I've been good 'cause I know you don't want me toDo you really want me to be blue as you?It's her daylight that gets me through We've been here beforeLast time you scratched at my doorThe Moon was naked and coldI was like a two-year-old who just wanted more If you wear that velvet dressIf you wear that velvet dress Tonight the Moon has drawn its curtainsIt's a private show, no one else going to knowI'm wanting Sunlight, sunlight fills my roomIt's sharp and it's clearBut nothing at all like the Moon It's okay, the struggle for things not to sayI never listened to you anywayAnd I got my own hands to pray But if you wear that velvet dress (if you wear that velvet dress)But if you wear that velvet dress (if you wear that velvet dress) The Moon is a mirrorballLight flickers from across the hallWho'll catch the star when it falls?
