I'm going in - Lhasa de Sela

WHEN MY LIFETIME HAD JUST ENDED

AND MY DEATH HAD JUST BEGUN

I TOLD YOU I’D NEVER LEAVE YOU

BUT I KNEW THIS DAY WOULD COME

GIVE ME BLOOD FOR MY BLOOD WEDDING

I AM READY TO BE BORN

I FEEL NEW

AS IF THIS BODY WERE THE FIRST I’D EVER WORN

I NEED STRAW FOR THE STRAW FIRE

I NEED HARD EARTH FOR THE PLOW

DON’T ASK ME TO RECONSIDER

I AM READY TO GO NOW

I’M GOING IN I’M GOING IN

THIS IS HOW IT STARTS

I CAN SEE IN SO FAR

BUT AFTERWARDS WE ALWAYS FORGET

WHO WE ARE

I’M GOING IN I’M GOING IN

I CAN STAND THE PAIN

AND THE BLINDING HEAT

'CAUSE I WON’T REMEMBER YOU

THE NEXT TIME WE MEET

YOU’LL BE MAKING THE ARRANGEMENTS

YOU’LL BE TRYING TO SET ME FREE

NOT A MOMENT FOR THE MEETING

I’LL BE BUSY AS A BEE

YOU’LL BE TALKING TO ME BUT I JUST WON’T UNDERSTAND

I’LL BE FALLING BY THE WAYSIDE

YOU’LL BE HOLDING OUT YOUR HAND

DON’T YOU TEMPT ME WITH PERFECTION

I HAVE OTHER THINGS TO DO I DIDN’T BURROW THIS FAR IN

JUST TO COME RIGHT BACK TO YOU

I’M GOING IN I’M GOING IN

I HAVE NEVER BEEN SO UGLY

I HAVE NEVER BEEN SO SLOW

THESE PRISON WALLS GET CLOSER NOW

THE FURTHER IN I GO

I’M GOING IN I’M GOING IN

I LIKE TO SEE YOU FROM A DISTANCE

AND JUST BARELY BELIEVE

AND THINK THAT

EVEN LOST AND BLIND

I STILL INVENTED LOVE
