Giving Birth to a Stone

Last night you talked like you were far away,
But now it looks as though you're here to stay.
Here to stay.

Here to stay.
Hey, hey, hey...
But now my eyes are open,
So just tell me what you want from me.
But now my eyes are open,
So just tell me what you want from me.

Let me down gently, let me down today.
Or trick me on, for once and always... Always!
Anyways, just say

And now my eyes are open,
So just tell me what you want from me.
But now my eyes are open,
So just tell me what you want from me.

Last night you talked like you were far away,
But now it looks as though you're here to stay.
Here to stay.

Here to stay.
Hey, hey, hey...
But now my eyes are open,
So just tell me what you want from me.
But now my eyes are open,
So just tell me what you want from me.
Want from me.

You say 'it's a new year'
I say 'I still want you here'
You say 'you'd better get your head together'
Say 'let's wait for better weather'.

Love me through the bad years,
Love me 'til it's Spring again,
Love me through my hopes and my tears,
Love me 'til we have no fears.

Take me there, in your mind's eye, out of time,
Love me again, before we pass out of time.

You can't see,
Don't understand,
You must be frightened,
Or just stupid.
You want everything?
Well you must be joking.

Grand Babylon,
So much to answer for,
Black and white,
Corrosion of all.
You want everything? Well you must be joking.

Corrosion, burning it down
Kerosene, burning it down.

You can't hear,
Dialogue of the deaf,
Dumb and blind,
But still in one mind.
You kill what you fear - well you must be joking.
