Inside the doors are sealed to love

Inside my heart is sleeping

Inside the fingers of my glove

Inside the bones of my right hand

Inside it's colder than the stars
Inside the dogs are weeping

Inside the circus of the wind

Inside the clocks are filled with sand

Inside she'll never hurt me

Inside the winter's creeping

Inside the compass of the night

Finding the world in the smallness of a grain of sand

And holding infinities in the palm of your hand

And Heaven's realms in the seedlings of this tiny flower

And eternities in the space of a single hour

Send your love into the future

Send your love into the distant dawn

Inside your mind is a relay station

A mission probe into the unknowing

We send a seed to a distant future

Whenever I say your name, whenever I call to mind your face
Whatever bread's in my mouth, whatever the sweetest wine that I taste
Whenever your memory feeds my soul, whatever got broken becomes whole
Whenever I'm filled with doubts that we will be together

Wherever I lay me down, wherever I put my head to sleep
Whenever I hurt and cry, whenever I got to lie awake and weep

A million footsteps, this left foot drags behind my right

But I keep walking, from daybreak ‘til the falling night

And as days turn into weeks and years

And years turn into lifetimes

I just keep walking, like I've been walking for a thousand years

Walk away in emptiness, walk away in sorrow,

Walk away from yesterday, walk away tomorrow,

Well it's five in the morning and the light's already broken

And the rainy streets are empty for nobody else has woken

Yet you turn towards the window as he sleeps beneath the covers

And you wonder what he's dreaming in his slumbers

There's a clock upon the table and it's burning up the hour

And you feel your life is shrinking like the petals of a flower

Late at night in summer heat. Expensive car, empty street

There's a wire in my jacket. This is my trade

It only takes a moment, don't be afraid

I can hotwire an ignition like some kind of star
I'm just a poor boy in a rich man's car

So I whisper to the engine, flick on the lights

And we drive into the night

Oh the smell of the leather always excited my imagination

I know we got some history

We got some issues that we need to solve

But is it really such a mystery?

It's just the way that the world evolves

Let me ask your forgiveness baby
My heart is ever full of sorrow

We got to move into the future maybe

And think about a new tomorrow

She said you know I used to love you baby

But you're thinking way too fast

So forget about the future

You've got the mouth of a she wolf

Inside the mask of an innocent lamb

You say your heart is all compassion

But there's just a flat line on your cardiogram

Yet you always made a profit baby

If it was a famine or a feast

Yes, I'm the soul of indiscretion,

I was cursed with x-ray vision,

I could see right through all the lies you told,

When you smiled for the television

Take off those working clothes

Put on these high heeled shoes

Don't want no preacher on the TV baby

Don't want to hear the news

Shut out the world behind us

Put on your long black dress

No one's ever gonna find us here

Just leave your hair in a mess

I've been searching long enough

I begged the moon and the stars above

For sacred love

I've been up, I've been down

Finding the world in the smallness of a grain of sand

And holding infinities in the palm of your hand

And Heaven's realms in the seedlings of this tiny flower

And eternities in the space of a single hour

Send your love into the future

Send your love into the distant dawn

Inside your mind is a relay station

A mission probe into the unknowing

We send a seed to a distant future

He deals the cards as a meditation
And those he plays never suspect
He doesn't play for the money he wins
He don't play for respect

He deals the cards to find the answer
The sacred geometry of chance
The hidden law of a probable outcome
The numbers lead a dance

I know that the spades are the swords of a soldier
I know that the clubs are weapons of war

Late at night in summer heat. Expensive car, empty street

There's a wire in my jacket. This is my trade

It only takes a moment, don't be afraid

I can hotwire an ignition like some kind of star
I'm just a poor boy in a rich man's car

So I whisper to the engine, flick on the lights

And we drive into the night

Oh the smell of the leather always excited my imagination

A million footsteps, this left foot drags behind my right

And years turn into lifetimes

Walk away from yesterday, walk away tomorrow,

VERSE 1

he deals the cards as a meditation

and those he plays never suspect

he doesnt play for the money he wins

he doesnt play for respect

he deals the cards to find the answer

the sacred geometry of chance

the hidden law of a probable outcome

and lonelessly to dance

CHORUS

Stolen Car (Take Me Dancing)

Late at night in summer heat, expensive car, empty street

There's a wire in my jacket, this is my trade

It only takes a moment, don't be afraid
I can hotwire an ignition like some kind of star

I'm just a poor boy in a rich man's car

So I whisper to the engine, flick on the lights

And we drive into the night

Let me watch by the fire and remember my days

And it may be a trick of the firelight

But the flickering pages that trouble my sight

Is a book I'm afraid to write

It's the book of my days, it's the book of my life

And it's cut like a fruit on the blade of a knife

And it's all there to see as the section reveals

There's some sorrow in every life

You've got the mouth of a she wolf

Inside the mask of an innocent lamb

You say your heart is all compassion

But there's just a flat line on your cardiogram

Yet you always made a profit baby

If it was a famine or a feast

Yes, I'm the soul of indiscretion,

I was cursed with x-ray vision,

I could see right through all the lies you told,

When you smiled for the television

Whenever I say your name, whenever I call to mind your face
Whatever bread's in my mouth, whatever the sweetest wine that I taste
Whenever your memory feeds my soul, whatever got broken becomes whole
Whenever I'm filled with doubts that we will be together

Wherever I lay me down, wherever I put my head to sleep
Whenever I hurt and cry, whenever I got to lie awake and weep

Take off those working clothes

Put on these high heeled shoes

Don't want no preacher on the TV baby

Don't want to hear the news

Shut out the world behind us

Put on your long black dress

No one's ever gonna find us here

Just leave your hair in a mess

I've been searching long enough

I begged the moon and the stars above

For sacred love

I've been up, I've been down
