Lyrics The Pains of Being Pure At Heart

The Pains of Being Pure At Heart

The Body

Come on now stop staring at the ceiling

Your last daydream is slowly unreeling

Won't you come out tonight, like I know you want to

Cuz the city's alive and even though it haunts you, I want you

To tell me again what the body's for

Cuz I can't feel it anymore

I want to hurt like it did before

We shouldn't sin

Tell me again what the body's for

Cuz I can't feel it anymore

I lost mine and I need yours,

It's only skin, we could swim

You try so hard to keep it together,

And you look so hard in fishnets and leather

But I know who you are, you are just a lost saint

And if we go too far, there'll be heaven to pay

And what a price…

I can't feel it anymore, tell me again what the body's for

I can't feel it anymore, tell me again it's only skin, we should swim
