"When You Got Your Hook In Me" lyrics

When you got your hook in me
And began pulling the string
It was a gentle tugging towards
The cloud of unknowing
Like a patient waking up
From the anesthesia of dreams
Walking home, talking slowly
Eating pears out of the trees

What a weird and wonderful way
To escape out of the mazes of our minds
Feels like we're viewing from above
What a searing thing to say
That you're a forest fire flame I cannot touch
Searing inside love

When you got your hook in me
And began singing a song
Out in a hedge of mazes waiting
For someone to sing along
Is this the ancient placement
Of the image that can't be drawn
Or just another funny thought
While we walk each other home

What a weird and wondrous way
To escape out of the mazes of our minds
Feels like we're viewing from above
It was a searing thing to say
That you're a forest fire flame I cannot touch
Searing inside of love

Thinking about all the places, all the faces
All the ways that they unfolds
Feels like we're viewing from above
Think of all the times you've wondered why
The curses come upon the ones you hold
That you're holding up in love

What a weird and wondrous way
To escape out of the mazes of our minds
Feels like we're viewing from above
It was a searing thing to say
That you're a forest fire flame I cannot touch
Searing inside of love
