lyrics

Remember that high heel life
and party hair nights
the kid glove lies
and hat tip smile
all those high tension wires

(then as) a shining heart
with a dirty mind
she moved slowly
through the world of the blind

Walking those street ribbons thoughts
seeping down sleeping alleys
looking left and right as though it were night
watching the clock hands slowly
moving time across its face
(and) up out of the gutter,
she cries out to the skies

If I could only know you now
as I will know you then
If I could only know you now
as I will know you then

There would be no gaping wound
no absent heart lung
where love and breathing are pain
and dumb numb regrets

Little small and tall sometimes
too big is not enough
and atomic is a bad
spill thrill overkill

A billion souls without bodies
hanging off manikin heads
and lamp posts making thought faces
to scare the devil

Casting glances across the room
as the night is taking place
In the land of exhausted desire
pushed to a new day

(then as) a shining heart with a dirty mind
she moved slowly through the world
of the blind

(then as) a shining heart
with a dirty mind
she moved slowly
through the world
of the blind

If I could only know you now
as I will know you then
There would be no gaping wound
no absent heart lung
where love and breathing
are pain
and dumb numb regret
