Cuts You Up

Peter Murphy

I find you in the morning

After dreams of distant signs

You pour yourself over me

Like the sun through the blinds

You lift me up

And get me out

Keep me walking

But never shout

Hold the secret close

I hear you say



You know the way

It throws about

It takes you in

And spits you out

It spits you out

When you desire

To conquer it

To feel you're higher

To follow it

You must be clean

With mistakes

That you do mean

Move the heart

Switch the pace

Look for what seems out of place



On and on it goes

Calling like a distant wind

Through the zero hour we'll walk

Cut the thick and break the thin

No sound to break no moment clear

When all the doubts are crystal clear

Crashing hard into the secret wind



You know the way

It twists and turns

Changing colour

Spinning yarns

You know the way

It leaves you dry

It cuts you up

It takes you high

You know the way

It's painted gold

Is it honey

Is it gold

You know the way

It throws about

It takes you in

And spits you out

You know the way

It throws about

It takes you in

And spits you out

It spits you out

When you desire

To conquer it

To feel you're higher

To follow it

You must be clean

With mistakes

That you do mean

Move the heart

Switch the pace

Look for what

Seems out of place



It's o.k.

It goes this way

The line is thin

It twists away

Cuts you up

It throws about

Keep me walking

But never shout.
