Lyrics
1:03After the red ants the black-out come peace and quiet
1:10Those little foot-prints fleshed out calm in my mind
1:18I lay like a compass digits accusing the sunrise
1:26Rain-drops abseil the window and flinch through the hurt cries
1:36I feel this great pressure coming down on me
1:41And the tide of my bliss pulling at your sympathy
1:51I feel this great pressure coming down on me
1:55(When my nerve's on the high-wire)
1:59My bliss pulling at your sympathy
2:21After the hunt and the sweat now comes peace and quiet
2:28Your head on my heart anchored the storm in my eyes
2:36I lay like a carcass your lips never letting the blood dry
2:43And so I pray for tomorrow and wait listening out for a reply
2:54I feel this great pressure coming down on me
2:59And the tide of my bliss pulling at your sympathy
3:09I feel this great pressure coming down on me
3:13(When my nerve's on the high-wire)
3:17My bliss pulling at your sympathy
3:25I feel this great pressure coming down on me
3:30And the tide of my bliss pulling at your sympathy
3:40I feel this great pressure coming down on me
3:45(When my nerve's on the high-wire)
3:48My bliss pulling at your sympathy
After the red ants the black-out come peace and quiet Those little foot-prints fleshed out calm in my mind I lay like a compass digits accusing the sunrise Rain-drops abseil the window and flinch through the hurt cries I feel this great pressure coming down on me And the tide of my bliss pulling at your sympathy I feel this great pressure coming down on me (When my nerve's on the high-wire) My bliss pulling at your sympathy After the hunt and the sweat now comes peace and quiet Your head on my heart anchored the storm in my eyes I lay like a carcass your lips never letting the blood dry And so I pray for tomorrow and wait listening out for a reply I feel this great pressure coming down on me And the tide of my bliss pulling at your sympathy I feel this great pressure coming down on me (When my nerve's on the high-wire) My bliss pulling at your sympathy I feel this great pressure coming down on me And the tide of my bliss pulling at your sympathy I feel this great pressure coming down on me (When my nerve's on the high-wire) My bliss pulling at your sympathy
