Echo & The Bunnymen - New Direction lyrics

Out on a limb

did you see what the cat dragged in

take it on the chin

catching fire on a roof of tin

You've learnt to speak and you're professing

the right to teach us our direction

but I found out on close inspection

true imprefection

I'm looking for a new direction

Where in the world am I?

I took the word the word was resurrection

and then you took me out to climb

Higher and higher

higher and higher

higher and higher

Kissing the spires

higher and higher

higher and higher

higher and higher

Souls on fire

Inside of my head

I heard what the good Lord said

"Beware" he said

if you don't you might end up dead

You suck the air right out of me

but though you suck you cannot see

that life and living are not free

though you live you do not breathe

I'm looking for a new direction

where in the world am I?

I took the word the word was resurrection

and then you took me out to climb

(repeat) Higher and higher...

I have changed

but still my heart

remains intact

and true love stays

but will our hearts

retain their lack of

No sense and no direction

Who in the world am I?

I took the word the word was resurrection

and then you took me out to climb

(repeat) Higher and higher...

Start confessing

Start confessing

All my evils would be blessed

if to God I did confess

Wipe the slate and see if I

ate the bread and drank the wine

So as you're leaving I take possesion

just take the bottle and start confessing
