Spirit (single Version) Lyrics - Bauhaus

Tonight I could be with you 

Or waiting in the wings 

Lift your heart with soaring song 

Cut down the puppet strings 

Cut down the puppet strings 

I wear a coat of drums 

And dance upon your eyes 

Turn the tables upside down 

Change the lows to highs 

Change the lows to highs 

I fill you up with butterflies 

Crown the heads of kings 

Be glad of first night nerves 

For fear gives courage wings 

Fear gives courage wings 

If I am on the sidelines 

Chances are youll miss 

Wait alone and spotlit 

For doctor theaters kiss 

The stage becomes a ship in flames 

I tie you to the mast 

Throw your body overboard 

The spotlight doesnt last 

The spotlight doesnt last 

I could be with you 

Or waiting in the wings 

Lift your heart with soaring song 

Cut down the puppet strings 

Cut down the puppet strings 

I may tap you on the shoulder 

And whisper, "Go" in red 

Strip your feet of lead my friend 

Strip your feet of lead 

Call the curtain, raise the roof 

Spirits on tonight 

Call the curtain, raise the roof 

Spirits on tonight 

Call the curtain, raise the roof 

Spirits on tonight 

Call the curtain, raise the roof 

Spirits on tonight 

We love our audience 

We love our audience 

We love our audience 

...
