[Intro]
(One, two, three)
[Verse 1]
There were curtains slightly parted
That allowed one beam of light
Stretch across the humdrum carpet
So you know if it's day or night
[Chorus]
I heard you say nothing's sacred anyway
But your eyes, they haunt
Someone like me who might give you what you need
But needs to give you all you want
[Verse 2]
There were pools in strange motels where
Only strangers swam
Fools who took them for wishing wells and
Saints too scared to sin
[Chorus]
I heard you say nothing's sacred anyway
But you don't believe
Even your words, though they cage you like a bird
And you could fly if you could leave
[Chorus]
I heard you say nothing's sacred anyway
But your eyes, they haunt
Someone like me who might give you what you need
But needs to give you all you want
