This Beam

This beam, this solid beam

Starts beneath my feet

And breaks the pavement of the street

And rises, till the skies are covered

And the weather disappears

Everything that grows in light

Expires in the endless night

Safety first, just sounded right

Here it is in operation

We live at the centre of a cushion

Nothing troubles us too much

The beams have done their job as such

There's only you and I to touch

We are surrounded and protected

All other stimuli rejected

We have created our own planet

Where only two hearts man it

The point is our love

Has turned to paranoia

Anything that tries to reach in gets shut out in the foyer

When I said I'd love you always

I really didn't mean I would destroy you

Look at what has happened

Our lives have become tiny

You live in my pocket

And I live in your rosary

Tiny little people afraid of really loving

Of shouting and of kissing

Dancing under pouring heavens (Heaven)

Staying up all night and being fascinated

Searching through the streets of Rome

For something classic but R-rated

Driving a thousand miles with no underwear between us

Touching skin and loving sin and brushing off the dangers

Feeling every breath that flows from the inside to the sky

And letting sparkles dance, when we look into each other's eyes (Heaven)

This beam, this solid beam

The beam that once protected

Now it only blinds us

I'm going to take you outside now

In the hope that raindrops find us

I'm going to love yours alone in a crowd of well kissed faces

And love you all head to toe in the warm and open spaces

And hope you still love me

When it's me you really see
