High above through veils of cloud I look on you again You're beautiful As always in this light About you shame And ignorance Are clinging like a shroud But I can't wait To be with you tonight No angels walk Beside you now No heroes hold your hands Your heart was broken But your mind's still free And down below me you are waiting smiling like a ghost Come open up Your filthy heart to me Into your arms so long ago In innocence and fear I asked you for your dreams to make me wise And like a priestess Like a whore You took me by the hand And showed me all your mysteries and lies But everywhere I go there still are echoes of you now Your golden streets That no one ever sees And all I ask is one last time Before my time has passed Come open up Your filthy heart to me Mad dogs and millionaires Have breathed upon your eyes Their rituals are sordid and so bland They whisper their banalaties They fawn and patronise How little your suitors Understand They try to dress you up Like someone younger and more free Ridiculous They try to make you seem When what you are is perfect and And need no more than this Come open up Your filthy heart to me Come open up Your filthy heart to me
