Lyrics
I?m climbing mountains in the south of Spain?.
Maybe I?m dancing naked in the rain?
Leave a message ? I might call you back?.
Hold your breath?.
Paper envelops the rock that will smash
The scissors that will cut the paper in half?
Make your choice now ? the odds have been stacked:
Life or Death?
And I lie safely down in the darkness
And I cry strings of pearl for the moon
And the children holding their hands in a circle
Women expecting a package in June?
Save your pennies for a sunny day?
Thanks to the rain when she comes out to play
I?m but a rich man, a rich man?
At best, I am poor?
You can run but you can?t choose to hide?
Though God is an Angel, remember he?s lied?
I am manifest virtue?
At best, I?m a whore?.
And I lie safely down in the darkness
And I cry strings of pearl for the moon
And the children holding their hands in a circle
Women expecting a package in June?
And I lie??
