Phenomenal World

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Born on a junk heap in the sea Cursed with the notion to be free White and bright and twenty-one But in my heart I'm on the run I kissed the lips of eau de vie I tasted sugar and debris But in the early morning light I saw the day destroy the night Life is a long walk home [Chorus] Was it the moonlight That left you gasping? Grasping something beyond a boy or a girl? Just let it all blow Untie your heartstrings No, don't cling to this phenomenal world [Verse 2] I lost my senses in the spring Of someone's life that I left behind And though I search through everything A sense of loss is all I find Her face is every work of art She haunts the city high and low But I can't live inside her heart And so I had to let it go And make my heart my home [Chorus] Was it the moonlight That left you gasping? Grasping something beyond a boy or a girl? Just let it all blow Untie your heartstrings No, don't cling to this phenomenal world [Instrumental Break] [Chorus] Was it the moonlight That left you gasping? Grasping something beyond a boy or a girl? Just let it all blow Untie your heartstrings No, don't cling to this phenomenal world
