Wet Like A Cloud Lyrics

Give up the ghost, hold me close

Sing me the song that you love most

The words hang like diamonds with music inside them

Colliding in time with your mouth



Find me alone

Walk me home

Show me a world I've not yet known



The buildings are breathing

They cry when they're sleeping

We're hurting their feelings somehow



So send an apology made of technology

Bricks turn to circuits instead

Sing like a microphone

Talk like a telephone

Watch like a film in your head



Bleed like a needle

Don't listen to people

They only say things so that something gets said



Cough like a cigarette

Turn like a turnicate

Burn like a firetruck red



Sleep like a pillow and

Wait like a window

In winter with snow-covered ledge



The birds will return soon

To bend round your bedroom

While radios talk to the dead

And you dream like a bed

Dream like a bed



Whisper and speak

Touch my cheek

Show me the smile that makes me weak



CARS crash whenever we kiss

Everything vanishes

Sweetness is all I feel



Write on my hand

Understand

Breath in the way only you can



You know that you are both the love note caught in my throat and the hope that it's real



So end like a funeral

Send out the usual

Static, please, from your lungs



Swallow like medicine

I think you're better than

Anything under the sun



Oh life remystified

Oh walking valentine

Oh unimaginable love



Smoke like a factory

Steal my identity

Sell it right back to me now



Break like tradition in need of revision

Transmissions will listen like sound

Think like a memory, warm and Septembery

Endlessly coming unwound



Till you find yourself out

With the graves in the ground

Tears rolling out of eyes

As wet as a cloud

But it's only the sound of your joy coming down.
