The Sweetest Condition

[Verse 1: Dave Gahan]

Taken in by the delicate noise

Knocked to the ground by the subtle thunder

Shackled and bound by the sound of your voice

Wandering around in silent wonder

[Chorus: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore]

What chance did I have

With the silver moon

Hanging in the sky

Opening old wounds?

[Verse 2: Dave Gahan]

Taking hold of the hem of your dress

Cleanliness only comes in small doses

Bodily whole but my head's in a mess

Fuelling obsession that borders psychosis

[Chorus: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore]

It's a sad disease

Creeping through my mind

Causing disabilities

Of the strangest kind

[Verse 3: Dave Gahan]

Getting lost in the folds of your skirt

There's a price that I pay for my mission

A body in heaven and a mind full of dirt

How I suffer the sweetest condition

[Verse 4: Dave Gahan]

Taken in by the delicate noise

Knocked to the ground by the subtle thunder

Shackled and bound by the sound of your voice

Wandering around in silent wonder
