verse 1 (a capella): Each night I lay beneath the Earth I am tired of feeling powerless With no edge and no reflected light There is something in the way of us verse 2: Don't cry now all the wheels will turn There'll be bluebirds over you and I With black brains they'll come to save our lives As our flesh becomes electrified Pre-Chorus We sleep in pairs, just waiting Can you take me away? Can you stop with the lies? Are you desperate? Yes I think I'm desperate What's my best bet on your death bed? Yes I'm on my last legs, and you're desperate verse 3: Blaze over me bird of paradise Don't be fearful, don't you close your eyes Oh sister keep the hope alive We can run before they realise Pre-Chorus I'm asking it to heal me Can you take me away? Can you stop with the lies? Are you desperate? Yes I think I'm desperate What's my best bet on your death bed? Yes I'm on my last legs, and you're desperate Can you take me away? Can you stop with the lies? Outro: x4
