I want to explore you
I'm gonna get under your skin
So you can feel me running through your veins
I want to examine
Every inch of your frame
The pressure points that cause your joy and pain
Our love goes under the knife
There is no room for doubt
Now i'm inside you
My hands can feel their way
Further inside than i have ever been
Now i can really
Mess around with your heart
And fill it to the brim with broken dreams
Our love goes under the knife
Two lives may be saved
And if i pull this off
I'll refuse the nobel prize
Instead i will look into your eyes
If i pull this off your whole body will be mine
And i'm prepared to work throughout the night
Our love goes under the knife
Nothing is taboo
...here on the cutting edge of science
Too much information
I feel i'm getting lost
Absorbed into the fibre of your soul
Deep within the abbatoir
Of your entrails your insides
Lost in you forever far from home
Our love goes under the knife
Someone got too close
Our love goes under the knife
The heart was rejected by the host
