Lyrics: Die Brücke – Existential Angst (She Says)

F:
I want you to touch me
I made Jesus cry
I want you to touch me

I want you to touch me
I made Jesus cry
I want you to touch me

M:
I'm not to blame she says cuz they're all the same she says and
that's how she justifies the fence around her heart

He's not my friend she says, he's just a means to an end, she says and
that's why their every attempt is a failure from the start

F:
I made Jesus cry
I want you to touch me

M:
I feel a little confused she says, and I think that he felt used she says, and
you think maybe she's catching on that something isn't right

I hope they play my song she says, and then she strings them along and she says
at least we'll have the joy of one more perfect night

She scares herself with religious dread but she only believes it when she's not in bed
She hates herself and she cries out loud and she loses herself within the faceless crowd
She scares herself with religious dread but she only believes it when she's not in bed
She hates herself and she cries out loud and she loses herself within the faceless crowd

I'll never find the one she cries, and you see that haunted look in her eyes, and
you know she's spilling secrets that her words will never tell

So do you want me or not she says, and you know she knows that she's hot when she says,
follow me but don't get too close because I think I'm going straight to hell

She scares herself with religious dread but she only believes it when she's not in bed
She hates herself and she cries out loud and she loses herself within the faceless crowd
She scares herself with religious dread but she only believes it when she's not in bed
She hates herself and she cries out loud and she loses herself within the faceless crowd

"Once more unto the Breach, dear friends!" her glances seem to say
her battles fought on distant shores by night that vanish with the day
A marble maiden with her ember eyes and ribbons in her hair
A heart so hard and cold it must be broken with the proper care

She scares herself with religious dread but she only believes it when she's not in bed
She hates herself and she cries out loud and she loses herself within the faceless crowd
She scares herself with religious dread but she only believes it when she's not in bed
She hates herself and she cries out loud and she loses herself within the faceless crowd

She scares herself with religious dread but she only believes it when she's not in bed
She hates herself and she cries out loud and she loses herself within the faceless crowd
She scares herself with religious dread but she only believes it when she's not in bed
She hates herself and she cries out loud and she loses herself within the faceless crowd

Within the faceless crowd
Within the faceless crowd
Within the faceless crowd
Within the faceless crowd

    Her battle fought on distant shores by night that vanish with the day
    The marble maiden with her ember eyes and ribbons in her hair
    Her heart's so hard and cold it must be broken with the proper care

    "Once more unto the Breach, dear friends!" her glances seem to say
    her battles fought on distant shores by night
    that vanish with the day
    A marble maiden with her
    ember eyes and ribbons in her hair

    A heart so hard and cold it must be broken with the proper care

  2. Thanks! I'll make the edit -- I couldn't find them anywhere and was going by ear!
