Running From The Body Lyrics - Steve Kilbey

You've been here before 

I've seen that face before 

I opened the door to you 

You've got the power 

That's why I like you 

Yes, it's true 

Inside on the ceiling 

Black above the deathbed 

There's a bandage on the curtain 

Across the window it moves but does not move 

Deep, deep in a room patiently 

Shining in the darkness 

Surrounding small details 

Dissolving, the moment it comes 

Penetration is due 

You've got the power 

That's why I like you 

Yes, it's true 

Outside there's a wind crawling 

Up the hill to the top of the trees 

Moving through a melody of grief 

It sounds like running from the body 

You're coming up through 

Nobody sees you but I do 

First notice the feeling 

And then the sound as the 

Flesh breaks through 

I said it all, was that all? 

I said, yeah, I said it all 

Was that all I said? 

You've got the power 

That's why I like you 

Yes, it's true 

He's been driving since 1943 

Never sent a postcard home 

What about them bones in the orchard wall 

Yeah, he's running from the body 

Yes, it's true 

Raise your right hand and swear to tell the truth 

The whole truth and nothing but the truth
