David Sylvian - Pulling Punches lyrics

If heaven watches over me

Sowing seeds back in the soil

With eyes that see, hands that feel

Why am I the last to know?

Sheltered lives spent partially breathing

Are gathered together under new religion

Pulling punches, sleeping on our feet

Pulling punches, I need someone to comfort me

Raised in summer day of splendour

Who would've dreamed of love never ending?

A better world lies in front of me

A sketch of life in the books I read

Then as I walk where heaven leads

Why I am the last to know?

Simple lives spent partially breathing

Are gathered together under new religion

Pulling punches, sleeping on our feet

Pulling punches, I needed someone to comfort me

Raised in summer day of splendour

Who would've dreamed of love never ending?

Nature feeds this nausea

Deep inside the heart of me

Sheltered lives spent partially breathing

Are gathered together under new religion

Pulling punches, (moving) sleeping on our feet

Pulling punches, I needed someone to comfort me

Raised in summer day of splendour

Who would've dreamed of love never ending?
