Lyrics
Wire
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.
Innocent, and in a sense I am
Guilty of the crime that's now in hand
Such a nice day to throw your life away
Such a nice day, let it go
Cold in his eyes, I can't believe it
Cold, this hear is slow
Heart is stone
Call me, such a cold heart
Such a cold man, watch you tear yourself apart
So lay me down, my soul to give
So lay me down, the longest sleep
Oh, the longest sleep
In I come and out you go you get
Here we are again, now place your bets
Is this the time, the time to win or lose?
Is this the time, the time to choose?
Cold these eyes, I can't believe it
So deep inside a cold fire
Cold, this heart is slow
Don't do it, d-d-don't do it
Don't do it, d-d-don't do it
Anytime you're on there (Kiss me)
Won't you tell me
That's it just give me it
In some white track
You come right back
Cartoon cutout
Cut throat let out
I'm on your side
Be on the both side
I'm on right track
You get off my back
I'm no dope
I give you hope
Here's the rope
Here's the rope
Now...swing away
