Dead To The World Lyrics - Gone Again - Patti Smith

Dead to the world my body was sleeping 

on my mind was nothing at all 

come a mist an aire so appealing 

I'm here a whispering you summouned I called 

I formed me a presence whose aspect was changing 

oh he would shift he would not shift at all 

we sat for a while he was very engaging 

and when he was gone I was gone on a smile 

With a strange way of walking 

and a strange way of breathing 

more lives than a cat 

that let me astray 

all in all he captured my heart 

dead to the world and just 

slipped away

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

I heard me a music that drew me to dancing 

lo I turned under his spell 

I opened my coat but he never came closer 

I bolted the door and whispered oh well 

With a strange way of walking 

and a strange way of breathing 

more lives than a cat 

that let me astray 

all in all he captured my heart 

dead to the world and just 

slipped away 

I laid in the rushes the air was upon me 

wondering well I just couldn't discern 

will he come back come back to me 

oh I whispered will you ever return 

I was feeling sensations in no dictionary 

he was less than a breath of shimmer and smoke 

the life in his fingers unwound my existence 

dead to the world alive I awoke 

With a strange way of walking 

and a strange way of breathing 

less than a breath of shimmer and smoke 

the life in his fingers unwound my existence 

dead to the world alive I awoke 

alive I awoke 

alive alive I awoke 

alive I awoke 

alive I awoke 

alive 

I awoke 

I awoke 

alive I awoke 

alive alive-o 

alive alive-o
