[Intro: John Cage]

Beas as meltHe ipickerel
TimesIt is life within life
In concentric spheresmy pden
They give no evidence they have heard ITCT
HE attaches importance to the actual worldtheir
So there is something in the music t u

[Verse 1: David Sylvian]
I see the lines in the palm of its hand now
I listen hard but no words spring to mind
And it sounds so sweet, listen to its heartbeat
And I'm drowning in its sea
Falling at its feet

[Chorus: David Sylvian]
Listen to my heartbeat baby

[Verse 2: David Sylvian]
And the blood sail leaves tonight
Fated in its blindness
And it won't be long before help is at hand
And the darkness sleeps
Cushioning the heartbeat
And I killed the captain, sank the fleet
To liberate the heartbeat baby
And it sounds so sweet
And it sounds so sweet
[Chorus: David Sylvian]
Listen to our hearts beat

[Verse 3: David Sylvian]
And the darkness sleeps
Cushioning the heartbeat
And I'm drowning in its sea
Falling at its feet

[Chorus: David Sylvian]
Listen to my heartbeat baby

[Bridge: Ingrid Chavez, David Sylvian & Ingrid Chavez, John Cage]
Speaks to ghosts and souls alike
Springs to life, and doesn't think twice
Wrapped in the blood sail
Bathed in snow
Nailed to the source and it won't let go
Fed on the Bible, grown from trees
It opened the mind and the heart was free
A home in the silence, safe from sound
Where trouble sleeps and the light is found
Speaks to ghosts and souls alike
Springs to life, and doesn't think twice (Springs to life)
Wrapped in the blood sail
Bathed in snow
Nailed to the source and it won't let go
Fed on the Bible, grown from trees
Opened the mind and the heart was free
A home in the silence, safe from sound
Where trouble sleeps and the light is found
[Chorus: David Sylvian, Ingrid Chavez]
Listen to my heartbeat, hmmmmm
It won't be long (Tainai kaiki)
And it won't be long (Tainai kaiki)
Won't be long (Tainai kaiki)
Won't be long (Tainai kaiki)

[Bridge: Ingrid Chavez & David Sylvian]
It speaks to ghosts and souls alike
Springs to life, and doesn't think twice
Wrapped in the blood sail (Tainai kaiki)
Bathed in snow
Nailed to the source and it won't let go

[Chorus: David Sylvian]
Listen to my heartbeat
'Cause it won't be long
It sounds so sweet, listen to my heart
