Open up Your Face - The Cat Empire

While the traffic hums

When the madness comes

As the wire buzzes

While the weary run

Like a flower that reaches out its fingers to the rain

Like a bird that flies above the gutters and the graves

Open up your face

Open up your face

And move without a trace

You move without a trace

And the water’s fine

As we drift away

Every single night

Every single day

Like a human cannonball who hears the match strike flame

Like a prisoner listening to the rumble of the train

Open up your face

Open up your face

And move without a trace

You move without a trace

Then I’ll know you want me, I want you

You want me, I want you

You want me, I want you…

And it’s coming down

Tropical the rain

All the neighbours running out

On the street again

Like a cool wind blowing through desert after noon

Like the priest who kneels before his mary in the gloom

Open up your face

Open up your face

And move without a trace

You move without a trace

Then I’ll 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…
