Lay Your Hands On Me lyrics

Artist  : Peter Gabriel 
Song : Lay Your Hands On Me
 
Sat in the corner of the Garden Grill, with
plastic flowers
on the window sil
No more miracles, loaves and fishes, been so busy
with the
washing of the dishes
Reaction level's much too high - I can do without
the stimuli

I'm living way beyond my ways and means, living
in the 
zone of the inbetweens
I can see the flashes on the frozen ocean, static
charge of
the cold emotion
Watched on by the distant eyes - watched on by
the silent
hidden spies
 
But still the warmth flows through me
And I sense you know me well
No luck, no golden chances
No mitigating circumstances now
It's only common sense
There are no accidents around here

I am willing - lay your hands on me
I am ready - lay your hands on me
I believe - lay your hands on me, over me
 
Working in gardens, thornless roses, fat men play
with their
garden hoses
Poolside laughter has a cynical bite, sausage
speared by the
cocktail satellite
I walk away from from light and sound, down
stairways 
leading underground
 
But still the warmth flows through me
And I sense you know me well
It's only common sense
There are no accidents around here

I am willing - lay your hands on me
I am ready - lay your hands on me
I believe - lay your hands on me, over me
over me
 
Lay your hands on me
Lay your hands on me
Lay your hands on me, over me
