Lyrics

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 you
'Cause the city's alive
Even though it haunts you
I want you
Tell me again what the body's for
'Cause 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
'Cause I can't feel it anymore
I lost mine (my heart?) and I need yours
It's only skin
We should 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
What a price
Tell me again what the body's for
'Cause 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
'Cause I can't feel it anymore
I lost mine (my heart?) and I need yours
It's only skin
We should swim
I can't feel it anymore, I can't feel it anymore
Tell me again, tell me again what the body's for
I can't feel it anymore, I can't feel it anymore
Tell me again, tell me again
It's only skin
We should swim
