In This World Tonight
[version 2]
Speak with your hands
Touch with your eyes
Loves on your fingertips
Hope burns your thighs
In this world tonight
Take hold of the dream
We’ll speak in a foreign tongue
Your body will scream
Ancient ritual in endless night
Forever young
It’s shining bright
Give it to me
In this world tonight
Something more than anger stirs me
Something more than fear
Life and death are empty words
Whenever you are near
Something more than anger stirs me
Something more than fear
Life and death are empty words
Whenever you are near
You are near
Fear is a blinder
And death’s a restraint
This life’s a reminder
Of everything I’ve missed
And you
You are my only hope
But you don’t exist
In this world tonight
