The Mission - Lay Your Hands On Me lyrics

A burnt out truck on a desert highway Frank on the radio doing it My Way And the sun beats down it's a hundred and ten And the girl in the back vows "Never Again" There's too many bends in the road too many curves And the way I pout gets on your nerves Those who hear not the music think the dancer mad And all I've got to say to you "it's the best time I ever had" Lay your hands on me Lay your hands on me Reach out and touch and lay your hands on me Lay your hands on me Lay your hands on me Reach out and touch and lay your hands on me Wipe the sweat from my fevered brow Holy Moses I'm a sacred cow Love isn't fear love isn't possession And love doesn't bind with the guilt of transgression I'm breaking the skin of a papier-mache grin I'm only curious I've never been that brave And I know how it feels with the devil at my heels To be the sinner that the good Lord never saved Lay your hands on me Lay your hands on me Reach out and touch and lay your hands on me Lay your hands on me Lay your hands on me Reach out and touch and lay your hands on me I've been diving for pearls, now I'm coming up for air Just because I understand doesn't mean I care Another bleeding heart messiah a cold savior machine Selling me absolution as the American dream You're always there to catch me catch me when I fall First a kiss and then and then you want it all Once I was an angel now my halo is on fire I'm burning up I'm shedding skin and I'm walking a high tight wire Lay your hands on me Lay your hands on me Reach out and touch and lay your hands on me Lay your hands on me Lay your hands on me Reach out and touch and lay your hands on me
