Now Lover

Lyrics

[Verse 1] In the here and now... Between sensation at the nerve-ends And arrival of information at the cortex Time elapses So, you see, each time we touch We did so in the past [Chorus 1] Oh, now, lover Slicing through time in a perfect curve Due for a moment of energy; Somehow we'll get what we most deserve In the here and now [Verse 2] In the here and now Although completely different people (Although completely different people) In the moments (In the moments) before and after having sex (Before and after having sex) We are time-locked (We are time-locked, we are time-locked, we are time-locked) Cracked, forgotten statues, we are strangled in the undergrowth Lost in ancient magic, we are motion, we are wonderful flow We are time-locked Unknowing of the code But addicted to the pulse (Pulse, pulse, pulse, pulse, pulse, pulse, pulse) [Chorus 2] Oh, now (Now, now, now, now, now), lover Melt in the crucible, flesh and blood Bodies consumed by the catalyst Somehow we'll raise our sights from the mud We are always (We are always) now We are Always Now! [Verse 3] If we were always here and now Instead of slightly, now and then... So immaterial, so lost, embracing all the grace That comes before the fall [Verse 4] If we were always here and now Electric shiver in the spine How could we turn away, see life as grey and drab? How come we don't see what we have? [Saxophone Solo 1] [Verse 5] If we were always here and now Soul to soul and skin to skin... Is it some kind of make-believe Is it some kind of dream we're in With a mint copy of original sin? [Saxophone Solo 2] [Break] [Verse 1] In the here and now Between sensation at the nerve-ends And the arrival of information at the cortex Time elapses, time elapses [Verse 6] Cracked, forgotten statues, we are strangled in the undergrowth; Lying on the mattress of the magic and the wonderful Nothing really matters as we're sucked in by the undertow... We are Motion, we are Feeling, we are Now! [Verse 2/7] Although completely different people, uh In the moments before and after having sex We are time-locked, we are time-locked... Though we know each time we touch We did so in the past [Chorus 1/2] Oh, now come on, come on, lover Slicing through time in a perfect curve Due for a moment of energy... Somehow we'll get what we most deserve In the here and now Melt in the crucible, flesh and blood Bodies consumed by the catalyst Surrender to nothing, welcome the flood Of the here and now [Chorus 1/2/3] Slicing through time in a perfect curve Due for a moment of energy Somehow we'll get what we most deserve; Melt in the crucible, flesh and blood Bodies, consumed by the catalyst Surrender to nothing Nip the thought in the bud We are always now We are Always Now! [Instrumental] [Outro] If we were always here and now... [Instrumental]
