Neath an avalanche

Soft as moss

I am a creeping and intangible sense of loss

I ' m the memory you can ' t get out your head

But if I leave you now

You ' ll wish you were somewhere else instead

I ' m the manta ray

I ' m the louse

I am the photograph

They found in your burned out house

I am the sound of money washing down the drain

I am the pack of lies

Baby that keeps you sane

Gates of heaven are open wide

God help me baby I ' m trapped inside

Feels like I ' m buried alive

I ' m the bottom line

Of the joke

I am ecstasy

Spilling like bright egg-yolk

I ' m the thoughts you ' re too ashamed to ever share

And I am the smell of it

You ' re trying to wash out of your hair

Gates of heaven are open wide

God help me baby I ' m lost inside

Feels like I ' m buried alive

Possibilities limitless

Just give me something that ' s more than this

One shot and I ' ll never miss

Yes

I ' m the babe that sleeps

Through the Blitz

I am a sudden and quite unexpected twist

I am your one true love

Who sleeps with someone else

I am your nemesis

Baby I ' m life sweet life itself
