MAKE ME FREE

Wake up, shake up,
cake on the make up
Look down, don’t drown,
I’m such a fake up
you see through me,
I’m dark and you know it
hocus focus,
the lens doesn’t show it

You've loved me all my life
All the way inside

Make me free
and surrounded by your loveliness
So free
in your wondrous eyes, I can rest with
Peace
You know all of me, still you want to
Be
With me endlessly, you make me free


I wait, can’t wait,
I don’t have the virtue
‘Til then, numb out,
Get drunk on your perfume
I’m so guilty,
gorgeous and filthy [alt: broken and filthy]
Wash me, fill me,
touch me and kill me [alt: touch me and still me]

I need you for my life
All the way inside

Make me free
and surrounded by your loveliness
So free
in your wondrous eyes, I can rest with
Peace
You know all of me, and still you want to
Be
With me endlessly, you make me free

Give me just a little taste of what you’ve got
Throw out a a line, give me something to hold on
Until you come it’s gonna be an long dark night
The thought of you is all that’s keeping me alive
