Depeche Mode – Cover Me (LiVE SPiRiTS) Lyrics
[Chorus 1: Dave Gahan]
I’ve felt better
I’ve been up all night
I can feel it coming
The morning light
The air is so cold here
It’s so hard to breathe
We better take cover
Will you cover …
[Chorus 1: Dave Gahan]
I’ve felt better
I’ve been up all night
I can feel it coming
The morning light
The air is so cold here
It’s so hard to breathe
We better take cover
Will you cover …
[Chorus 1: Dave Gahan]
I’m the ghost in your house
Calling your name
My memory lingers
You’ll never be the same
I’m the hole in your heart
I’m the stain in your bed
The phantom in your …
[Verse 1: Dave Gahan]
This is an insight
Into my life
This is a strange flight
I’m taking
My true will
Carries me along
[Verse 2: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore]
This is a soul dance
Embracing me
This …
[Verse 1]
You have poison in your heart
Yeah I’m sure of it
I knew right from the start
From the moment we met
You know we have to break up
You’ll always be alone
[Chorus]
You know …
[Verse 1]
Precious and fragile things
Need special handling
My God, what have we done to you?
We always tried to share
The tenderest of care
Now look what we have put you through
[Chorus]
Things get damaged, …
[Verse 1]
I woke up in Montecito
I was thinkin’ about my life
And the questions made more questions
Starin’ out into the night
Yes, I’ve worn the golden g-string
Put my hand into hellfire
I did it all to make you love me and to feel alive
[Chorus]
Oh, that’s just the world that we’re livin’ in
The old boys hold all the cards and they ain’t playin’ gin
You dare to call me crazy, have you looked around this place?
I should walk away
Oh, I should walk away
But I think I’ll stay
[Verse 2]
There are layers to this body
Primal sex and primal shame
They told me I should cover it
So I went the other way
I was tryin’ to own my power
Still I’m tryin’ to work it out
And at least it gives the paper somethin’ they can write about
[Chorus]
And oh, that’s just the world that we’re livin’ in
The old boys hold all the cards and they ain’t playin’ gin
And you dare to call me crazy, have you looked around this place?
I should walk away
Oh, I should walk away
But I think I’ll stay
[Bridge]
So the mad man is in the big chair
And his heart’s an iron vault
He says “If you can’t make ends meet, honey, it must be your fault”
We all focus on the winners
And get blinded by their shine
Maybe caring for each other is just too 1969
[Chorus]
But oh, that’s just the world that we’re livin’ in
The old boys hold all the cards and they ain’t playin’ gin
And you dare to call me crazy, have you looked around this place?
I should walk away
Oh, I should walk away
But I think I’ll stay
[Outro]
And I think I’ll stay, yeah
I have too much lose
So I think I’ll stay
I can’t walk away
