Songtext Running from the body Steve Kilbey

Running from the body

Youve been here before
Ive seen that face before I opened the door to you
Youve got the power
Thats why I like you
Yes its true

(grant)
Inside on the ceiling
Black above the deathbed.
Theres a bandage on the curtain
Across the window. it moves but
Does not move.

(steve)
Deep, deep in a room patiently
Shining in the darkness
Surrounding. small details
Dissolving, the moment it comes
Penetration is due

Youve got the power
Thats why I like you
Yes its true

(grant)
Outside theres a wind crawling
Up the hill to the top of the
Trees. moving through a melody
Of grief it sounds like running
From the body.

(steve)
Youre coming up through,
Nobody sees you, but I do.
First notice the feeling
And then the sound as the
Flesh breaks through

(grant)
I said it all, was that all
I said, yeah I said it all
Was that all I said

(steve)
Youve got the power, thats
Why I like you
Yes its true

Hes been driving since 1943
Never sent a postcard home
What about them bones in the orchard wall
Yeah hes running from the body

Yes its true
Raise your right hand and swear to tell the truth, the whole
Truth, and nothing but the truth
