Cuts You Up Peter Murphy

I find you in the morning
After dreams of distant signs
Pour yourself over me
Like the sun through the blinds
You lift me up and get me out
Keep me walking, but never shout
"Hold the secret close," I hear you say
Here we go

You know the way it throws about
It takes you in and spits you out
It spits you out when you desire
To conquer it, to feel you're higher

To follow it you must be clean
With mistakes that you do mean
Move the heart, switch the pace
Look for what seems out of place

On and on it goes
Calling like a distant wind
Or through the zero hour we'll walk
We'll cut the thick and break the thin
No sound to break, no moment clear
When all the doubts are crystal clear
Crashing hard into the secret wind

You know the way it twists and turns
Changing colour, spinning yarns
You know the way it leaves you dry
It cuts you up and takes you high

You know the way it's painted gold
Is it honey? Is it cold?
You know the way it throws about
It takes you in and spits you out

(Oh) cuts you up
(Oh) cuts you up
(Oh) cuts you up
(Oh) la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la-la

(Oh, oh-oh-oh)
(Oh)

You know the way it throws about
It takes you in and spits you out
It spits you out when you desire
To conquer it, to feel you're higher

To follow it, you must be clean
With mistakes that you do mean
Move the heart, switch the pace
Look for what seems out of place

(Oh) cuts you up
(Oh) cuts you up

(Oh) it's okay, it goes this way
A line, it twists, it twists away
(Oh) it cuts you up and spits you out
Keeps you walking but never shout

(Oh) it's okay, it goes this way
The line it twists, it twists away
(Oh) it cuts you up and spits you out
Keeps you walking but never shout

(Oh) la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la-la
(Oh) la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la-la
(Oh) la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la-la
(Oh) la-la-la
(Oh)
