Broad-Shouldered Beasts
[Verse 1]Broad-shouldered beasts fill the skyManhattan beats at the nightBut you are wrapped up in wireCurled up in frightSo I took you to the city for the nightTo dance under dizzy silver lightsBut for a moment, you were wildWith abandon like a child, just a moment
[Pre-Chorus]But wasn't it you who said I was not freeAnd wasn't it you who said I needed peaceAnd now it's you who's floored by fear of it all
[Chorus]But it's alrightTake it out on meBut it's alrightTake it out on me
[Verse 2]These apartment walls are paper thinAnd no one is trying to listen inWhat to hear our doubtsHear our whispered shouts, they don't care
[Pre-Chorus][Chorus]
[Bridge]But when you feel the world wrapping round your neckFeel my hand round yoursAnd when you feel the world wrapping round your neckDon't succumb
[Chorus]
