Spirit of a Vampyre - The Go-Betweens

I was slowly dying in a clinic just outside of L. A

You came and saw me (thank you) that picked me up straight away

You said «Learn to dance, learn to act, learn the piano»

And most of all you said

«Learn to live again»

That’s when it starts.

That’s when it starts

The electric train of soft cylinder parts

Together at last

I dream of losing you, I wake up holding you so tight

I don’t want to lose you now that I’ve passed midnight

I’m in deep with the blue waters around you

I’m in deep, so blue with everything around you

That’s when it starts.

That’s when it starts

The electric train of soft cylinder parts

The dull mask of action on circus staff

Mobility the hood of the Hindu scarf

Together at last

Making jewellery at last
