Nothing And Everything - aka 88

Original Lyrics

Hiding behind my hair today
My eyes dance with fire
The thought of living here
And the bounds I transpire
Walking in this slow-motion town
I seem to think so fast
Standing with your mannequin
I try to hold my breath
The grave that bears my name
Transpires in a dream
I dream immortality
Yet I fall in vain
Cause as long as I don’t breathe
I’ll never be like them
Standing with your mannequin
I try to hold my breath
If you go and I would stay
And you would call my name
I would cry, yes, I would cry
Walking in or walking out
Is the same as talking about my heart
My heart
Hiding behind my hair today
Wishing I was far away
Walking in this slow-motion town
I seem to think so fast
Standing with your mannequin
I try to hold my breath
If you go and I would stay
And you would call my name
I would cry, yes, I would cry
Walking in or walking out
Is the same as talking about my heart
My heart
If you go and I would stay
And you would call my name
I would cry, yes, I would cry
If you go and I would stay
You would call my name
I would die, yes, I would die
Walking in or walking out
Is the same as talking about my heart
My heart

Lyrics: live 1988/11/19

Hiding behind my hair today

My eyes dance with fire

The thought of living here

And the bounds I transpire

Walking in this slow-motion town

I seem to think so fast

Standing with your mannequin

I try to hold my breath

The grave that bears my name

Transpires in a dream

I dream immortality

Yet I fall in vain

Cause as long as I don't breathe

I'll never be like them

Standing with your mannequin

I try to hold my breath

If you go and I would stay

And you would call my name

I would cry, yes, I would cry

Walking in or walking out

Is the same as talking about my heart

My heart

Hiding behind my hair today

Wishing I was far away

Walking in this slow-motion town

I seem to think so fast

Standing with your mannequin

I try to hold my breath

If you go and I would stay

And you would call my name

I would cry, yes, I would cry

Walking in or walking out

Is the same as talking about my heart

My heart

If you go and I would stay

And you would call my name

I would cry, yes, I would cry

If you go and I would stay

You would call my name

I would die, yes, I would die

Walking in or walking out

Is the same as talking about my heart

My heart
