Shine Lyrics - Psychedelic Furs

Shine 

I heard her sing 

I need a voice given anything 

All I want to dream 

Flattery 

Days that never come 

To shine a light on the damage done 

Somedays without a sound 

I feel the dark even closer now 

I wear it, a winter coat 

I'm far away but not far enough 

What's true is torn 

And shouted down 

The world's at my feet 

And it turns when I speak 

And it shines 

Shine and all that is 

Comes down upon me 

Shine and all that is 

Sleep, it never comes 

I lay awake 

All the shutters drawn 

Look at me I'm shamed 

My bottle done 

I hear her beating down on dirty wings 

I feel the room move under me 

I'm far away but not far enough 

What's true is torn 

And out of place 

The world's at my feet 

And it turns when I speak 

And it shines 

Shine 

I heard her sing 

A crooked voice and a dirty wings 

Beating under me 

Flattery 

The world's at my feet 

And it turns when I speak 

On its drums and its wheels
