Lyrics Lhasa De sela - I'm Going In

WHEN MY LIFETIME HAD JUST ENDED
AND MY DEATH HAD JUST BEGUN
I TOLD YOU I'D NEVER LEAVE YOU
BUT I KNEW THIS DAY WOULD COME

GIVE ME BLOOD FOR MY BLOOD WEDDING
I AM READY TO BE BORN
I FEEL NEW
AS IF THIS BODY WERE THE FIRST I'D EVER WORN

I NEED STRAW FOR THE STRAW FIRE
I NEED HARD EARTH FOR THE PLOW
DON'T ASK ME TO RECONSIDER
I AM READY TO GO NOW

I'M GOING IN I'M GOING IN
THIS IS HOW IT STARTS
I CAN SEE IN SO FAR
BUT AFTERWARDS WE ALWAYS FORGET
WHO WE ARE

I'M GOING IN I'M GOING IN
I CAN STAND THE PAIN
AND THE BLINDING HEAT
'CAUSE I WON'T REMEMBER YOU
THE NEXT TIME WE MEET

YOU'LL BE MAKING THE ARRANGEMENTS
YOU'LL BE TRYING TO SET ME FREE
NOT A MOMENT FOR THE MEETING
I'LL BE BUSY AS A BEE

YOU'LL BE TALKING TO ME
BUT I JUST WON'T UNDERSTAND
I'LL BE FALLING BY THE WAYSIDE
YOU'LL BE HOLDING OUT YOUR HAND

DON'T YOU TEMPT ME WITH PERFECTION
I HAVE OTHER THINGS TO DO
I DIDN'T BURROW THIS FAR IN
JUST TO COME RIGHT BACK TO YOU

I'M GOING IN I'M GOING IN
I HAVE NEVER BEEN SO UGLY
I HAVE NEVER BEEN SO SLOW
THESE PRISON WALLS GET CLOSER NOW
THE FURTHER IN I GO

I'M GOING IN I'M GOING IN
I LIKE TO SEE YOU FROM A DISTANCE
AND JUST BARELY BELIEVE
AND THINK THAT
EVEN LOST AND BLIND
I STILL INVENTED LOVE
