"Untainted Love" lyrics

"Untainted Love"

I sure do miss them drugs
And not giving the slightest fuck
Shivering and thunderstruck
But it nearly killed me
And I sure do miss cocaine -
The bravado and bloodstains
Crushing highs and creeping shame -
And it nearly killed me
I'm not invincible after all
I'm not invincible - it's impossible
To stay awake forever

And I miss the independence
Of being high as fuck and friendless
In the days that were numb and endless
And that nearly killed me
And I miss leaving every morning
Without words and without warning
With open arms towards an ending
That would surely kill me
I'm not invincible after all
I'm not invincible - it's impossible
To stay alone forever

In the final analysis
When it all comes down to it
I went right up to the line
And it turns out I did't want to die
Because the one thing that I never accounted for was love -
Untainted Love
Untainted Love
Untainted Love
You can't stay awake forever
You can't stay alone forever
Untainted Love
You can't stay awake forever
You can't stay alone forever
Untainted Love
