Lyrics (unofficial)

[rev. Sept. 7, 2013]

Oh this body gets in the way (it's so foreign)
A reminder, a viewfinder for you

Poor old Mr. Faust
He had to sign in blood
Surrounded by temptation
Brimstone and mud

I'm never gonna be the one to say
I'll never stop to love you this way (hey baby)
Let these words set an example
Let my song be a soul sample (hey baby)

Breathlessly where you scream (it's so far away)
An enigma, a big fragment for you

Bless this imperfect child
It's been a long hard fight
Emerging from the cottony sheets
We'll try to fly tonight

I'm never gonna be the one to say
I'll never stop to love you this way (hey baby)
Let these words set an example
Let this song be a soul sample (hey baby)

(It's so foreign)

Poor old Mr. Faust
He offered me a job
Deliver this package to a friend inside
When my heart began to throb

I'm never gonna be the one to say
I'll never stop to love you this way (hey baby)
Let these words set an example
Let this song be a soul sample (hey baby)

(Oh baby, baby, baby)
