I tied myself with wire
To let the horses roam free
Playing with the fire
Until the fire played with me

The stone was semi-precious
We were barely conscious
Two souls too smart to be
In the realm of certainty
Even on our wedding day

At the moment of surrender
I folded to my knees
I did not notice the passers-by
And they did not notice me

I've been in every black hole
At the altar of the dark star
My body's now a begging bowl
That's begging to get back, begging to get back
To my heart
To the rhythm of my soul
To the rhythm of my consciousness
To the rhythm that yearns
To be released from control

I was punching in the numbers at the ATM machine
I could see in the reflection
A face staring back at me
At the moment of surrender
Of vision over visibility
I did not notice the passers-by
And they did not notice me

I was speeding on the subway
Through the stations of the cross
Every eye looking every other way
Counting down til the pain would stop

At the moment of surrender
Of vision over visibility
I did not notice the passers-by
And they did not notice me

(Your life is short, it's the longest thing you'll ever do,
the worse the curse was that your dreams came true.
God is a mirror in which each man sees himself
Hell is place where you don't need any help
When I first met you, your face was like snow
Wherever I went to, you wanted to go
Your face, Your grace, your lipstick trace,
your case as you put it down, A-17 on the ground,
Your faith in a Clown
Don't leave me now
Don't leave me now alone in this song
Don't leave me now...alone in this song)
