Out of the Blue (Into the Fire) Songtext

von The The

I'm a man without a soul...Honey---
Who lost it while parading it, in a town full of thieves--
Y'see I didn't wanna be with any people I know.
But god knows, I didn't wanna be alone--
I thought if acted like someone else
I'd feel more comfortable in my time here--
So I showered down--left my little room
And jumped in my car for protection from hostility
Well it ain't easy to be bold--in an unknown city--
I was feeling strong mouthed, but weak willed.
When I ran into the cure...for my ills--

Don't tell me what your name is--
I want your body, not your mind,
I want a feeling, worth paying for before I say goodbye
But as I was talking, I couldn't look her in the eyes,
I just kept wondering,--
How many men unleashed their frustration between her thighs?

Well my adrenalin, was curdling like cream,
As I was being led by the hand.
Through the sound of sirens--
And the distant noise of some drunken jazz band,
Through the stench of disinfectant--
That ";INFECTED"; my head,
Through the darkness of a corridor
And into a strangers bed.

Well I didn't wanna hurt your feelings, honey
But I couldn't suppress my own,
I had to pull myself outta this nosedive
By proving something to myself.

She was lying on her back
With her lips parted.
Squealing like a stuffed pig--
I was going through the motions
Faking the emotions,
And wriggling around like lizard in a tin.

Trying so hard to cleanse myself,
I was turning into somebody else.
I was trying so hard to please myself,
I was turning into somebody else.
I was trying so hard to be myself
I was turning into somebody else.
I was trying so hard to be myself
I was turning into somebody else.
I was trying so hard to be myself
I was turning into somebody else.

Come my love--with your desire--
Out of the blue...and into the fire!!
