Lyrics
Open Up Your Face
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
While the traffic hums
When the madness comes
As the wire buzzes
While the weary run
Like a flower that reaches out its fingers to the rain
Like a bird that flies above the gutters and the graves
Open up your face
Open up your face
And move without a trace
You move without a trace
And the water's fine
As we drift away
Every single night
Every single day
Like a human cannonball who hears the match strike flame
Like a prisoner listening to the rumble of the train
Open up your face
Open up your face
And move without a trace
You move without a trace
Then I'll know you want me, I want you
You want me, I want you
You want me, I want you...
And it's coming down
Tropical the rain
All the neighbours running out
On the street again
Like a cool wind blowing through desert after noon
Like the priest who kneels before his mary in the gloom
Open up your face
Open up your face
And move without a trace
You move without a trace
Then I'll know you want me, I want you
You want me, I want you
You want me, I want you
You want me, I want you
You want me, I want you
You want me, I want you
You want me, I want you...
