Beyond Love (Live)

[Intro]

We're definitely not gonna play that one

Now that you've asked for it

[Verse 1]

Move away from the window

And into the light

There are some things in this life

That you just can't fight

[Verse 2]

It's as if the spirits above

Have cast a little spell upon us

It's as if Heaven above

Is beckoning us

So let us take off our crosses and lay them in a tin

And let our weakness become virtue instead of sin

Our bodies stand naked as the day they were born

And tremble like animals before a coming storm

[Chorus]

Take me beyond love

Up to something above

Upon this bed, between these sheets

Take me to a happiness beyond human reach

[Verse 3]

The force of life is rushing through our veins

In and out like the tide, it comes in waves

The drops of semen and the clots of blood

Which may one day become like us

With outstretched hands reaching beyond love

And up to something above

[Verse 4]

Before our juices run cold and our flesh grows old

Let me feed upon your breast and draw closer to your soul

Let me stay with you tonight and I'll offer you my world

I'll take you to the angels if you'll take me to myself

[Chorus]

Take me beyond love (Beyond love)

Up to something above (Beyond love)

Upon this bed, between these sheets (Beyond love)

Take me to a happiness beyond human reach (Beyond love)

[Outro]

Beyond the grasp of lust (Beyond love)

Beyond the need for trust (Beyond love)

Beyond the gaze of the sick and the lame (Beyond love)

Beyond the stench of human pain
