Lyrics

[Verse 1]

A nightmare of you, of death in the pool

Wakes me up at quarter to three

I'm lying on the floor of the night before

With a stranger lying next to me

[Verse 2]

A nightmare of you, of death in the pool

I see no further now than this dream

The trembling hands of the trembling man

Hold my mouth to hold in a scream

[Verse 3]

I try to think, to make it slow

If only here is where I go

If this is real, I have to see

I turn on fire and next to me

[Chorus]

It looks good, it tastes like nothing on earth

It looks good, it tastes like nothing on earth

It's so smooth, it even feels like skin

It tells me how it feels to be new

It tells me how it feels to be new

A thousand voices whisper it true

It tells me how it feels to be new

And every voice belongs, every voice belongs to you

[Verse 1]

A nightmare of you, of death in the pool

Wakes me up at quarter to three

I'm lying on the floor of the night before

With a stranger lying next to me

[Chorus]

It looks good, it tastes like nothing on earth

It looks good, it tastes like nothing on earth

It's so smooth, it even feels like skin

It tells me how it feels to be new

It tells me how it feels to be new

A thousand voices whisper it true

It tells me how it feels to be new

And every voice belongs, every voice belongs to you
