The Cat Empire - Open Up Your Face lyrics

(Verse)

While the traffic hums,

When the madness comes

As the wild buzzes

While the wild will run.

(Pre-Chorus)

Like a flower that reaches out its fingers to the rain.

Like a bird that flies above the gutters and the graves.

(Chorus)

Open up your face, open up your face,

And move without a trace,

You move without a trace.

(Verse)

And the water’s fine

As we drift away.

Every single night

Every single day.

(Pre-Chorus)

Like a human cannon ball who pierce the match strike flame

Like a prisoner listening to the rumble of the train.

(Chorus)

Open up your face, open up your face,

And move without a trace,

You move without a trace.

(Bridge)

And I know you want me, I want you

You want me, I want you

You want me, I want you.

(Verse)

When it’s coming down

Drop your cloth of rain

All the neighbors running at

On a street of game.

(Pre-Chorus)

Like a cooling glowing through some desert afternoon

Like the priest who kneels before his Mary in the gloom.

(Chorus)

Open up your face, open up your face,

And move without a trace,

You move without a trace.

And I know you want me, I want you,

You want me, I want you,

You want me, I want you,

You want me, I want you,

You want me, I want you,

You want me, I want you,

You want me, I want you.
