about

Late at night in Broken Toys Studio, quite literally under the Story Bridge.

lyrics

With legs like knives we walk the wire
Between love and desire
With dreams on fire we burn our hands
So let’s stab the earth with this grim dance

Hey baby pretty baby will you wait for me
And maybe share with me this happy day?
Hey baby equal heart and flesh and mind and soul
You play the part they make you play
And we’re torn in two this happy happy day

The gift of blood on your clenched hands
Won’t prove to me that you’re a man
When your eyes betray the lie
That says you do just what you want to do
Well I won’t break my mind in two
To make small change for you

I am only waiting for the sun to dry the rain
For the wind to blow your mind
So maybe we might fly again

With hearts like sand we’re sometimes blown away
And though I try I can’t make you stay
How I wish that you could slip
so deep inside my mind
To see the things that I can’t give to you
But maybe you can find
