Hold On to Yourself

[00:43.92] I'm so far away from you
[00:49.09] I'm pacing up and down my room
[00:52.13] Does Jesus only love a man who loses?
[00:59.29] I turn on the radio
[01:04.36] There's some cat on the saxophone
[01:07.14] Laying down a litany of excuses
[01:13.98] There's madhouse longing in my baby's eyes
[01:19.08] She rubs a lamp between her thighs
[01:22.25] And hopes the genie comes out singing
[01:29.57] And she lives in some forgotten song
[01:34.47] And moves like she is zombie-strong
[01:37.55] Breathes steady as the pendulum keeps swinging
[01:51.47] You better hold on to yourself
[02:10.32] Well, cities rust and fall to ruin
[02:15.49] Factories close and cars go cruising
[02:18.24] In and around the borders of her vision
[02:25.45] She says oh woah woah woah
[02:30.55] As Jesus makes the flowers grow
[02:33.38] All around the scene of her collision
[02:40.44] Oh you know, yes, I would
[02:47.73] I would hold on to yourself
[03:06.05] In the middle of the night
[03:11.20] I try my best to chase outside
[03:14.58] The phantoms and the ghosts and the fairy-girls
[03:21.18] On 1001 nights like this
[03:25.92] She mutters open sesame and Ali Baba and his forty thieves
[03:31.14] Launch her off the face of the world
[03:35.62] Well, you know
[03:38.41] Oh baby, I'll come back
[03:43.60] And I'll hold on to yourself
[04:12.11] Babe, I'm 1000 miles away
[04:16.84] And I just don't know what to say
[04:19.68] 'Cause Jesus only loves a man who bruises
[04:27.05] But darling we can clearly see
[04:31.93] It's all life and fire and lunacy
[04:35.02] And excuses and excuses and excuses
[04:41.29] Well, you know if I could I would
[04:45.19] Yeah, I would lie right down
[04:49.41] And I'd hold on to yourself
[04:54.74] Yeah, I would lie right down
[04:59.87] And I would hold on to yourself
[05:04.96] One day I'll come back to you
[05:09.79] And I'll hold on to yourself
[05:14.82] Yeah, I'm gonna come back
[05:17.39] Gonna lie down
[05:19.98] And I'll hold on to yourself
[05:25.57]
