Song Lyrics

Clowns caress you.
Figures undress your fears.
Induce the crowd beyond emotion,
Shedding tears as big as the ocean.
Don't say you didn't hear us calling.
Oh, oh, you'll be sorry in the morning.
When we tell you mother had tears in her eyes,
She's the only one that never cries.

That's the way we destroy, baby.
Shut it out, shut it out.
That's the way we destroy, baby.
Shut it out of your mind.
That's the way, that's the way.
If I address you,
And you see me in the shadows falling.
Call, caress me.

Hey, I woke up on my own this morning.
Don't say you didn't hear us calling.
Oh, oh, you'll be sorry in the morning.
When we tell you mother had tears in her eyes,
She's the only one that never lies.

That's the way we destroy, baby.
Shut it out, shut it out.
That's the way we destroy, baby.
Shut it out of your mind.
That's the way, that's the way.
I'm only trying to help you, baby.
(Only trying to help you.)
I'm only trying to help you, baby.
(Only trying to help you.)
I'm only trying to help you.

George O'dowd, Jon Moss, Michael Craig, Roy Hay
