Without a Mark

I am your thief, baby

Never to be caught

Kissing your neck

When your lover will not

 

I am your dancer

My hands on your back

The easy answer

When the questions in your heart attack

 

Meet you in the city

To raise the daily crime

Then onto a plane

Flying backward into time

 

I fall asleep, as you change

Into who you are

When you’re not escaping

In an alley or the back seat of a car

 

[Chorus]

I stumble round a well-lit room

To try to make it dark

Then lie down next to you

To bite without a mark

 

And every time you leave

Tears without a sound

I stand alone

At least I stand my ground

 

I know you’re lonely

I know our paths are set

If this is all that’s left of you

I’ll take what’s left to get

 

I watch your naked statue

Soft flesh turned to stone

You hold the knife my lover

But this cuts you to the bone

 

[chorus]

 

So go back

Rest your head

And think about

Another bed

 

We live

In a concrete past

A falling future

And a present of shattered glass
