David Keenan - Grace, a State (Acoustic Olympia Session) lyrics

I am a collaboration between chaos and calm
You the amalgamation of what
Is sacred and depraved
Imagination is yoursalvation, you partly mad
I partly sane look here two blind commuters
In some sacrificial game

Hush now, don't you cry, I'm
Taking care of you, baby
I'll adopt you into my world
We'll spin through hoops, it's all ballet
Hush now don't you cry
I'm taking care of you baby
Cross the divide, I need more time
Please lift the veil
There is no veil, there is no veil

Ravaged by the brutal realism of reality
The actor holds a glass trumpet which he
Then lifts to the open wound
Oh he dips and slips to the
Sombre song of the public fool
She rolls a spliff, her cotton shirt
Stuck to her chest drenched in
His sweat and blood

Hush now, don't you cry, I'm
Taking care of you, baby
I'll remove you from that world
Of alcohol and propaganda
Hush now don't you cry
I'm taking care of you baby
Cross the divide, I need more time
Please lift your veil
There is no veil, there is no veil

Hush now, don't you cry, I'm
Taking care of you, baby
Hush now, don't you cry, I'm
Taking care of you, baby
Hush now, don't you cry, I'm
Taking care of you, baby
Hush now, don't you cry, I'm
Taking care of you, baby
