Peter Murphy - Cuts You Up lyrics

I find you in the morning... after dreams of distant signs

You pour yourself over me like the sun through the blinds

You lift me up and get me out

Keep me walking but never shout

"Hold the secret close", I hear you say

You know the way it throws about.

It takes you in and spits you out

It spits you out when you desire

to conquer it, to feel you're higher

To follow it you must be clean,

with mistakes that you do mean

Move the heart, switch the pace

Look for what seems out of place

Yeah on and on it goes, calling like a distant wind

Through the zero hour we'll walk... cut the thick and break the thin

No sound to break, no moment clear

when all the doubts are crystal clear

Crashing hard into the secret wind

You know the way it twists and turns

Changing colour, spinning yarns

You know the way it leaves you dry

It cuts you up, it takes you high

You know the way it's painted gold

Is it honey? Is it gold?

You know the way it throws about.

It takes you in and spits you out

It spits you out when you desire

to conquer it, to feel you're higher

To follow it you must be clean,

with mistakes that you do mean

Move the heart, switch the pace

Look for what seems out of place

And now I find the special kind

You, yourself, like sun through blinds

You lift me up and get me out

Keep me walking but never shout

It's okay... it goes this way

The line is thin, it twists away

Cuts you up, It throws about

Keep you walking, but never shout.
