Peter Gabriel - Lay Your Hands On Me lyrics

on the window sil

No more miracles, loaves and fished, been so busy with the

washing of the dishes

Reaction level's much too high - I can do without the stimuli

I'm living way beyong my ways and means, living in the zone

of the inbetweens

I can see the flashes on the frozen ocean, static charge of

the cold emotion

Watched on by the distant eyes - watched on by the silent

hidden spies

But still the warmth flows through me

And I sense you know me well

No luck, no golden chances

No mitigating circumstances now

It's only common sense

There are no accidents around here

I am willing - lay your hands on me

I am ready - lay your hands on me

I believe - lay your hands on me, over me

Working in gardens, thornless roses, fat men play with their

garden hoses

Poolside laughter has a cynical bite, sausage speared by the

cocktail satellite

I walk away from from light and sound, down stairways leading

underground

But still the warmth flows through me

And I sense you know me well

It's only common sense

There are no accidents around here

I am willing - lay your hands on me

I am ready - lay your hands on me

I believe - lay your hands on me, over me

over me

Lay your hands on me

Lay your hands on me

Lay your hands on me, over me
