Big Black Sea – Gary Numan (feat. Rico)
I left a rose at the bottom of the big black sea
For you
From me
I haven’t uttered a sound since you set me free
I wish I was you
and you felt like me
Outside connection’s breaking down
Internal wiring’s burning out
The clouds so thick that I can’t see
This is for you
from me
She said: ‘tell me all your secrets, fantasies and fears;
Let me see the polaroids of people you hold dear.’
Trapped in tunnel vision, in monophonic sound
She says she loves you
she loves you
then it all falls down
Echoes in the bedroom
Projections on the walls
Translations of her letters:
Forever’s not at all
Trapped in tunnel vision
and monophonic sound
she loves you
she loves you
then it all falls down
Outside connection’s breaking down
Internal wiring’s burning out
The cloud’s so thick that I can’t see.
I wish I was you
Instead of me
I left a rose at the bottom of the big black sea.
I did it for you.
from me.
I haven’t uttered a sound since you set me free
I wish I was you
and you felt like me
Outside connection’s breaking down
All internal wiring’s burning out
I dive down towards the big black sea
this isn’t for you
this one’s for me
This time it’s all for me
And this time it’s all for me
(she loves you, she loves you then it all falls down)
