Текст песни:

Talk with me in your vacant tones
Take my heart in your bare hands, keep it beating
I never wanted anything but this
I never saw myself fading or repeating

So help me God I was sold
A promise from a liar
Religion for a blindfold
Work it out
Work it out
Give me silver, give me gold

I don’t know if it’s devine
But I know that it’s mine
I don’t know if it’s devine
But I know that it’s mine

Stay with me til my talk gets strange
Stay with me til my eyes get low and heavy
I know this and this only as myself
I’ll sing that melody when I’m good and ready

So help me God I was sold
A promise from a liar
Religion for a blindfold
Work it out
Work it out
Give me silver, give me gold

I don’t know if it’s devine
But I know that it’s mine
I don’t know if it’s devine
But I know that it’s mine
I don’t know if it’s devine
But I know that it’s mine
I don’t know if it’s devine
But I know that it’s mine

I don’t know if it’s devine
But I know that it’s mine
Work it out
Work it out
Take me high, break me down
I don’t know if it’s devine
But I know that it’s mine
Hold me close
Let me go
This is all I need to know
I don’t know if it’s devine
But I know that it’s mine
Kneel down
Make no sound
Here comes your last time around
I don’t know if it’s devine
But I know that it’s mine
Take the smile
Off your lips
Where you go when time just slips

  • Girl you have such tragic taste in men Your predilection For comedians Your great addiction Though they treat you well They bring you brief glimpses of hell What a bombshell Maybe all these fools are on the payroll In that case sleep well and let the good times roll But understand it’s just the simple slight of hand On the other hand One plus one makes three I guess that’s true to some degree But only if you squint the right way Oh, watch frame by frame on action replay Girl you work your magic now and then Without restriction First your rebirth then your crucifixion When you show your hand Your services are in demand Maybe all these fools are on the payroll In that case sleep well and let the good times roll But understand it’s just the simple slight of hand On the other hand One plus one makes three I guess that’s true to some degree But only if you squint the right way Oh, watch frame by frame on action replay You took a gorgeous risk Oh, I won’t deny the genius Of those words that you sometimes twist Got me round your little finger Such a disagreeable business Then you go all-out disco Side-winding out of the picture Gone instead, let’s have a drink It’s no ordinary date I’ve got nothing planned On the other hand One plus one makes three I guess that’s true to some degree Like four plus four makes nine Oh, it’s been proven every time But only if you squint the right way Oh, watch frame by frame on action replay
  • Well you’ve been scratching around in the basement Looking for somewhere to hide Making your own entertainment Trying hard to salvage some pride Well you’re the last of the original orphans And baby you’re a wonderful friend I love the way you say I’m forgiven And that I don’t have to pretend I’m no squeeze Well I’m no Monday’s child Tell me please Half a made up story Of syncopated glory Of when you and the kid ran wild And I know your kind You’ve got a dirty mind You think that half the world’s gone blind Well don’t ya And I can’t get on While you should be just good as gone When everything you say sounds wrong Oh yes it does Oh baby why don’t ya Well you say you only want to amuse me Just flash me that toothless smile You tie me up in words that confuse me And terrorize me all the while Aw you’re so twee And you’re so very dim Every time we meet You tell me of the time When you wish that you was mine And now it hurts you when you try to begin And I know your kind You’ve got a filthy mind You think that half the world’s gone blind Well don’t ya And I can’t get on While you should be just good as gone When everything you say sounds wrong Oh yes it does Oh baby why don’t ya Oh baby why don’t ya Oh I know your kind You’ve got a filthy mind You think that half the world’s gone blind Don’t ya And I can’t get on While you should be just good as gone When everything you say sounds wrong Oh yes it does Oh baby why don’t ya Oh baby why don’t ya Oh baby why don’t ya Oh baby why don’t ya
