In a burning building I was bowling over With a head of ashes On a bed of stone Oh, can you hear me now? Oh, don't hurt me now In the velvet calm Willing, undone I placed my heart on the table When the fire comes Oh, don't hurt me now Oh, don't hurt me now Have I become Willing, undone? You put the temple Into the ground Oh, please don't hurt me now Oh, don't hurt me now
