I  tied myself with wire
To  let the horses roam free
Playing  with the fire
 Until the fire played  with me
The  stone was semi-precious
We  were barely conscious
 Two souls  too smart to be
 In the realm  of certainty
Even  on our wedding  day
 We set  ourselves on fire
 Oh God,  do not deny her
 It’s not  if I believe in love
 If love  believes in me
 Oh, believe  in me
 At the moment  of surrender
 I folded  to my knees
 I did  not notice the passers-by
 And they did  not notice me
I’ve  been in every black hole
 At the altar of  the dark star
 My body’s  now a begging bowl
 That’s begging  to get back, begging to get  back
 To my heart
 To the rhythm of my soul
 To the rhythm of my unconsciousness
 To the rhythm that yearns
To  be released from control
 I was punching  in the numbers  at the ATM  machine
 I could see  in the reflection
 A face  staring back at me
 At the moment  of surrender
 Of vision  over visibility
 I did  not notice the passers-by
 And they did  not notice me
 I was speeding  on the subway
 Through the stations  of the cross
 Every eye  looking every other  way
 Counting down  ’til the train would stop

At the m[F]oment of surr[C]ender
Of vi[F]sion over visibilit[C]y
I [Am]did not notice the pas[G]sers-by
And they [F]did not notice me[F]

I was sp[F]eeding on the su[C]bway
Through the station[F]s of the cross [C]
Every e[Am]ye looking every ot[G]her way
Counting do[F]wn ’til the train would stop  [F]
