Peter Murphy
Crystal Wrists
[Verse 1]
I can't see the light, I'm thrown in disgust
They speak of feats he housed forever
A howling wind changed my course
It blew me out of bounds so sore
[Pre-Chorus]
All the walls
All the walls that bound me
Descending bleak and put upon
[Chorus]
I chew my cheeks, to wake up numb
A vase grows bigger to my eyes
These eyes that snigger and despise
A wall grows taller up to doom
[Verse 2]
Shoes in my room thrown in disgust
At how I fall to my worst
Of course you say you don't understand
Your words, your fiction, your crooked hands
[Chorus]
But clearly now, I tell you, man
That all I say is all I can
For I am nothing but my sin
Until I learn to cast them in
[Verse 3]
While young girls fangs and crystal wrists
Wait patiently for me to twist
I look away to distant rains
To waterfalls and honey days
And boys in black and blue rinse eyes
Gaze whistly at my slender thighs
[Chorus]
I twist a shade to my right
And spit at Beelzebub on sight
And go on loving all I see
For here I live on patiently
Clearly now, I tell you, man
That all I say is all I can
For I am nothing but my sin
Until I learn to caste them in
[Chorus]
I twist a shade to my right
And spit at Beelzebub on sight
And go on loving all I see
For here I live on patiently
Clearly now, I tell you, man
That all I say is all I can
For I am nothing but my sin
Until I learn
Learn, learn, learn
