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
