Remember once I told you aboutHow before I heard it from your mouthMy name would always hit my earsas such an awful soundAnd the soul, if that's what you'd call itUneasy ally of the body, it felt nameless as a riverUndiscovered undergroundAnd the first time that you kissed meI drank dry the River LetheThe Liffey would have been softeron my stomach all the sameBut you spoke some quick new musicThat went so far to soothe this soulAs it was and ever shall be, unearth without a nameSome part of me must have diedThe first time that you called me, "Baby"And some part of me came aliveThe first time that you called me, "Baby"These days I think I owe my lifeTo flowers that were left here by my motherAin't that like them, giftin' life to you againThis life lived mostly undergroundUnknowin' either sight nor sound'Til reachin' up for sunlight justto be ripped out by the stemSensing only now it's dyin'Drying out, then drowning blindlyBloomin' forth its every colourIn the moments it has leftTo share the space with simple living thingsInfinitely suffering, but fighting off like all creationThe absence of itself, anywaySome part of me must have diedEach time that you called me, "Baby"But some part of me stayed aliveEach time that you called, each time that you calledCome hereOoh-la-la, ooh-la-laWhatever keeps you around, it keeps you aroundOoh-la-la, come here, ooh-la-laWhatever keeps you around, it keeps you aroundThe last time it was heard out loudThe perfect genius of our hands and mouths were shockedTo resignation as the arguing declinedWhen I was young I used to guessAre there limits to any emptiness?When was the last timeCome here to me, when was the last time?Some part of me must have diedThe final time that you called me, "Baby"But some part of me came aliveThe final time you called me, "Baby"

Remember once I told you about
How before I heard it from your mouth
My name would always hit my ears
as such an awful sound
And the soul, if that's what you'd call it
Uneasy ally of the body, it felt nameless as a river
Undiscovered underground
And the first time that you kissed me
I drank dry the River Lethe
The Liffey would have been softer
on my stomach all the same
But you spoke some quick new music
That went so far to soothe this soul
As it was and ever shall be, unearth without a name
Some part of me must have died
The first time that you called me, "Baby"
And some part of me came alive
The first time that you called me, "Baby"
These days I think I owe my life
To flowers that were left here by my mother
Ain't that like them, giftin' life to you again
This life lived mostly underground
Unknowin' either sight nor sound
'Til reachin' up for sunlight just
to be ripped out by the stem
Sensing only now it's dyin'
Drying out, then drowning blindly
Bloomin' forth its every colour
In the moments it has left
To share the space with simple living things
Infinitely suffering, but fighting off like all creation
The absence of itself, anyway
Some part of me must have died
Each time that you called me, "Baby"
But some part of me stayed alive
Each time that you called, each time that you called
Come here
Ooh-la-la, ooh-la-la
Whatever keeps you around, it keeps you around
Ooh-la-la, come here, ooh-la-la
Whatever keeps you around, it keeps you around
The last time it was heard out loud
The perfect genius of our hands and mouths were shocked
To resignation as the arguing declined
When I was young I used to guess
Are there limits to any emptiness?
When was the last time
Come here to me, when was the last time?
Some part of me must have died
The final time that you called me, "Baby"
But some part of me came alive
The final time you called me, "Baby"
