As recorded by Peter Murphy
(From the 1989 Album DEEP)
[Intro]
D
[Verse 1]
D
I can't see the light, I'm thrown in disgust
D
They speak of feats he housed forever
G D
A howling wind changed my course
G D
It blew me out of bounds so sore
[Pre-Chorus]
C
All the walls
D
All the walls that bound me
C
Descending bleak and put upon
[Chorus]
D Bm A
I chew my cheeks, to wake up numb
G
A vase grows bigger to my eyes
D Bm A
These eyes that snigger and despise
G D A D N.C.
A wall grows taller up to doom
[Verse 2]
D G
Shoes in my room thrown in disgust
D G
At how I fall to my worst
D C
Of course you say you don't understand
D C
Your words, your fiction, your crooked hands
[Chorus]
D Bm A
But clearly now, I tell you, man
G D
That all I say is all I can
Bm A
For I am nothing but my sin
G A D A D N.C.
Until I learn to cast them in
[Verse 3]
D G
While young girls fangs and crystal wrists
D G
Wait patiently for me to twist
D
I look away to distant rains
C
To waterfalls and honey days
D
And boys in black and blue rinse eyes
C
Gaze whistly at my slender thighs
[Chorus]
D Bm
I twist a shade to my right
A G
And spit at Beelzebub on sight
D Bm
And go on loving all I see
A G
For here I live on patiently
D Bm A
Clearly now, I tell you, man
G D
That all I say is all I can
Bm A
For I am nothing but my sin
G D
Until I learn to caste them in
Bm
I twist a shade to my right
A G
And spit at Beelzebub on sight
D Bm
And go on loving all I see
A G D
For here I live on patiently
Bm A
Clearly now, I tell you, man
G D
That all I say is all I can
Bm A
For I am nothing but my sin
G
Until I learn
D Bm A G
Learn, learn, learn
