"Total Abandonment" lyrics
Well now, really, when we go back, then, to falling in love
And say, "It's crazy"
Falling, you see?
We don't say rising into love
There's in it the idea of the fall
And, uh, it is goes back as a matter of fact
To extremely fundamental things
That there is always a curious tie at some point
Between the fall and the creation
Taking this ghastly risk
But this is the most powerful thing that could be done
Surrender, see? And love is an act of surrender to another person
Total abandonment
And say, "It's crazy"
Falling, you see?
We don't say rising into love
There's in it the idea of the fall
And, uh, it is goes back as a matter of fact
To extremely fundamental things
That there is always a curious tie at some point
Between the fall and the creation
Taking this ghastly risk
But this is the most powerful thing that could be done
Surrender, see? And love is an act of surrender to another person
Total abandonment
