Phenomenal World Lyrics
Born on a junk heap in the sea
Cursed with the notion to be free
White and bright and twenty one
But in my heart I'm on the run
I kissed the lips of eau de vie
I tasted sugar and debris
But in the early morning light
I saw the day destroy the night
Life is a long walk home
Was it the moonlight
That left you gasping
Grasping, something, beyond a boy or a girl
Just let it all blow
Untie your heartstrings
No, don't cling to this phenomenal world
I lost my senses in the spring
Of someone's life that I left behind
And though I search through everything
A sense of loss is all I find
Her face is every work of art
She haunts the city high and low
But I can't live inside her heart
And so I had to let it go
And make my heart my home
Was it the moonlight
That left you gasping
Grasping, something, beyond a boy or a girl
Just let it all blow
Untie your heartstrings
No, don't cling to this phenomenal world
Cursed with the notion to be free
White and bright and twenty one
But in my heart I'm on the run
I kissed the lips of eau de vie
I tasted sugar and debris
But in the early morning light
I saw the day destroy the night
That left you gasping
Grasping, something, beyond a boy or a girl
Just let it all blow
Untie your heartstrings
No, don't cling to this phenomenal world
Of someone's life that I left behind
And though I search through everything
A sense of loss is all I find
Her face is every work of art
She haunts the city high and low
But I can't live inside her heart
And so I had to let it go
That left you gasping
Grasping, something, beyond a boy or a girl
Just let it all blow
Untie your heartstrings
No, don't cling to this phenomenal world

some of the best writing goes seemingly unnoticed. roddy frame was practically a poet. for instance! =
I lost my senses in the spring Of someone's life that I left behind And though I search through everything A sense of loss is all I find Her face is every work of art She haunts the city high and low But I can't live inside her heart And so I had to let it go
And make my heart my home
