Lay back

For me

You are just exactly what I need

In this cold town

Lay back

For me.

The three of us in circus

And in liberty

It's been too long

So throw your guilt religion

To the liars and the weak

This is the politics and war

Of ecstasy

And all the nonsense of that vision

That is failing every test

It's the comedy and death

Of your senses

The alternative to real world

Is just time for me and a fantasy

Be blind to myself

To idolize

The alternative to real world

Is just time for me and a fantasy

I'm blind to myself

And idolize

You work

So deep

Astonished and in rapture

I can barely speak

These are hard times

Hormones

In key

A slow whispered wet confession

From our body heat

There's no return

The alternative to real world

Is just time for me and a fantasy

Be blind to myself

To idolize

The alternative to real world

Is just time for me and a fantasy

I'm blind to myself

And idolize
