Cuts You Up Lyrics By Peter Murphy

    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
    here we go

    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 clean
    with mistakes that you do mean
    move the heart and switch the pace
    look for what seems out of place

    on and on it goes
    calling like a distant wind
    oh 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 colour 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
    la lalalala la lalalalala
    lalalalalala la la la

    oh
    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 clean
    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 ok it goes this way
    the line it twists it twists away
    cuts you up and spits you out
    keeps you walking but never shout
    it’s ok it goes this way
    the line it twists it twists away
    cuts you up and spits you out
    keeps you walking but ah never shout
    la lalalala la lalalalala
    la la lala la la la
    la lalalala la lalalalala
    la lalalala la la la la la
    la lalalala la lalalalala
    la la lala la la la
    oh ohoh oh
    oh
