Lay back for me You are just exactly what I need In this cold town Lay back for me The three of us in circus and in liberty It’s been too long So throw your guilt religion To the liars and the weak This is the politics and war of ecstasy And all the nonsense of that vision That is failing every test Is the comedy and death of your senses The alternative to real world Is just time for me and a fantasy Be blind to myself to idolise The alternative to real world Is just time for me and a fantasy I’m blind to myself to idolise You work so deep Astonished and in rapture I can barely speak These are hard times Hormones in key A slow whispered wet confession From our body heat There’s no return The alternative to real world Is just time for me and a fantasy Be blind to myself to idolise The alternative to real world Is just time for me and a fantasy I’m blind to myself to idolise
