Within Without Lyrics - Over The Rhine

Is it because I cannot see you 

That you feel so free to steal 

My excess baggage 

Full of darkness and despair 

While I fumble with my locks 

You're content to stand and knock 

Yet I know your knack for theivery is rare 

Do you know they call it arson 

Setting fires without permissions 

In my heart for sure and maybe elsewhere too 

Though your lack of inhibition 

Captures my imagination 

I end up a wiser person thanks to you 

It's coming to fruition 

The sympathetic vibration 

Your train is at my station 

Within without 

Then there is your flare for murder 

There's a dagger in the border 

Of your cloak and I suspect a captain's gun 

As you put to death suspicions 

Kindly kill my fears as well 

Exorcise and slay the demons one by one 

Though I'm usually pacifistic 

You are mercifully sadistic 

And I didn't know that murder could be good 

But the roses came crimson 

Springing from the prison 

Of the floorboards where there once were stains of blood 

It's coming to fruition 

The sympathetic vibration 

Your train is at my station 

Within without 

It's calming my suspicion 

With soothing intuition 

Your train is at my station 

Within without 

Within without 

Within without 

Within without
