Cuts you up – Peter Murphy

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

On and on it goes Calling like a distant wind Through the zero hour we’ll walk We’ll 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 color Spinning yarns

You know the way It leaves you dry It cuts you up And 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

Oh, cuts you up Oh, cuts you up Oh, cuts you up Oh, la la la la la la la la

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

Oh, cuts you up Oh, cuts you up

It’s o.k. It goes this way The line is thin It twists away

Cuts you up And spits you out Keeps you walking But never shout

Oh Oh
