I find you in the morning
After dreams of distant signs
You 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

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 cleaned
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
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 color
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 la la

Oh-oh-ooh-ah
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 cleaned
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

It’s o.k.
It goes this way
The line is thin
It twists away

Cuts you up
And spits you out
Keeps you walking
But never shout

Yes it’s o.k.
It goes this way
The line is thin
It twists away

Cuts you up
And spits you out
Keeps you walking
But never shout

La la la la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la la la la

Oh-oh-ooh-ah
Oh
