I loved you once
This is a pure thing
You have to plan your moves at these times
No one is crying for us this time
This is a pure thing

All splash and hiss
These eyes are blind
A veil of cloud
Precious as memory

One more song to go
Beyond my measuring
We have to learn these things again
Don't love you anymore
But they don't work no more
Only the anacrucis
These eyes are blind
We had some good machines
In the great cold outdoors
A veil of cloud
These hands I kiss
Bathe in this incandescent glow
Under miracles of snow
This is a pure thing

Tragic as anything
Beyond my measuring
Tragic as anything
This is a pure thing
These eyes are blind
This is a pure thing
These eyes are blind
I loved you once
The greasy men come back again
These eyes are blind
These faded flowers
Precious as memory
This is a pure thing
Correct as energy
These hands I kiss

Our shapes are blurring
Tragic as anything
These eyes are blind
Our hearts are breaking
But they don't work no more
The main event remains
Correct as energy
We had some good machines
These faded flowers
These hands I kiss
Shameful and naked, out there
All splash and hiss
The leap to something I don't know

There is no doubt upon us when
Weave a circle 'round him three times
All splash and hiss
Beyond my measuring
Don't love you anymore
