Open Up Your Face

While the traffic hums
When the madness comes
As the wire buzzes
While the weary run.

Like a flower that reaches out it's fingers to the rain
Like a bird that flies above the gutters and the graves.

Open up your face
Open up your face
And move without a trace
You move without a trace.

And the water's fine
As we drift away
Every single night
Every single day.

Like a human cannonball who hears the match strike flame
Like a prisoner listening to the rumble of the train.

Open up your face
Open up your face
And move without a trace
You move without a trace.

And although you want me, I want you
You want me, I want you
You want me, I want you.

When it's coming down
Tropical rain
All the neighbours running out
On the street again.

Like a cool wind blowing on some desert afternoon
Like the priest who kneels before his Mary in the gloom.

Open up your face
Open up your face
And move without a trace
You move without a trace.

And I know you want me, I want you
You want me, I want you
You want me, I want you.
