The Body Lyrics

Pains Of Being Pure At Heart The Body

Come on now stop staring at the ceiling
Your last daydream is slowly unreeling
Won't you come out tonight, like I know you want to
Cuz the city's alive and even though it haunts you, I want you

To tell me again what the body's for
Cuz I can't feel it anymore
I want to hurt like it did before
We shouldn't sin

Tell me again what the body's for
Cuz I can't feel it anymore
I lost mine and I need yours,
It's only skin, we could swim

You try so hard to keep it together,
And you look so hard in fishnets and leather
But I know who you are, you are just a lost saint
And if we go too far, there'll be heaven to pay
And what a price…

I can't feel it anymore, tell me again what the body's for
I can't feel it anymore, tell me again it's only skin, we should swim
