lyrics

Don't hideaway inside yourself, or lie in a state in your room
We altered our image, to irresistible flame

Was she something worth loving? She was all that and more
Helping watchers on shores. With supple beauty
She was all that, and she was all that, and you know
It's my eyes that tell me: she's a work of art
Well, is this heaven, or just the state of art?

Violence steps upon our lives, danger firm and staunt
The world trods upon us, like a protectorate
You know what they'll say, "You needn't look any further than this."
You need the touch of a lover's kiss. An irresistible flame

Was she something worth loving? She was all that and more
Helping watchers on shores. With supple beauty
She was all that, she was all that, and you know
It's my eyes that tell me: she's a work of art
Well, is this heaven, or just the state of art?

With our hearts we step in, why don't you gently ride the storm?

Is this heaven, or just the state of art?
