Aztec Camera - Mattress Of Wire lyrics

I know the place that you've had visions of There are no windows, no sunlight there Three stories high and there are no stairs It's anywhere that you're alone As a child you had a ragged doll That used to follow you around We made a mound on some sacred ground And never was it seen again Chorus: And when you speak, I still hear the fire Of cheated desire for diaries embossed Of days that you've lost How can you sleep on a mattress of wire Oh, how can you tire Aspiring for sure to all that is pure So say goodbye to all those ne'er do wells Smile in religion and then smile farewell Your magic doesn't need the failing spells Of those that never understand And manners, they will find no place With those that have no saving grace With you I see the irony Of anyone who has no faith Chorus: And when you speak, I still hear the fire Of cheated desire for diaries embossed Of days that you've lost How can you sleep on a mattress of wire Oh, how can you tire Aspiring for sure to all that is pure Of that I am sure
