Iris

Lord, my body is aching

We drank wine like it was endless summer

Nights spent with you by my side

I could pretend you'd always be my lover

When you said I was your Venus, you lied

A look for the taking

Close enough to see me in your eyes

Love was only ever framed

Iris

Iris

What's in your heart that you dare not speak of love?

Baby, you were my uranium

Slow dance, first kiss, tell me where you hide this love

I ache for the tasting

I know this love gets around

It haunts you till your heart's been found out

Love or the lack of it

You look so hard that I can't stare back

Iris, hold me for a minute

Iris

Iris, never seen nor heard

Iris

Take cover, call me up, it's four in the morning just because

I got my eyes on you, I shouldn't be looking

Want me like a fix, it's frightening, threw down words like they were lightning

I could be reaching all my life, when we were kids I closed my eyes

We put the fire out when we speak our silence

Blinded by the sight of love and violence

We costume rebellion, vote with our hearts

Quiet a doubt with a duet

Iris

Iris

Iris

We've got a love that the world can't take away

Heroes we are not

Our maps diverged and were lost

We missed the signs and we paid the cost

What do you do with the mad that you feel?

What is essential is invisible

What do you do with the mad that you feel?

We dare to be ourselves
