Lyrics
Na na na na na nah
Na na na na na nah
[in background throughout]
Your skin was arctic white
Your eyes were midnight blue
You could not speak to me
The night I came to you
I was the infidel
Searching for paradise
I felt the light descend
In sheets of mystic eyes
I heard your lonely voice
I felt your lasting glance
I had to make a choice
As I got no second chance
To feel your nakedness
To be with you alone
I had to steel myself
Beyond the comfort zone
At the naked heart of you
There is a savage wilderness
Yeh it's the part of you
That I can not caress
It's the naked heart of you
And as the sun went down
At last we reached the spot
Where ancient armies met
All the pain that time forgot
It turned our dreams into
A thing of fire and steam
It turned the countryside
Into a death machine
Searching for pleasure now
To make a life renewed
To see the past destroyed
The antidote was you
And your sex was heaven sent
That's what the prophets said
I could not match the truth
With what was in my head
And the naked heart of you
There is a savage wilderness
Yeh it's the part of you
That I can not caress
Yeh the naked heart of you
That fills the emptiness
With the savage truth in you
It had no fixed address
It's the naked heart of you
Yeh it's the naked heart of you
And I once knew a girl
Who's love I could not hold
You know I can't forget
The story that she told
Of millions passing by
In search of living space
She was the last of them
To leave without a trace
It's the naked heart of you
There is a savage wilderness
It's the part of you
That I can not caress
It's the naked heart of you
Fills the emptiness
The savage truth in you
That has no fixed address
It's the naked heart of you
It's the naked heart of you
It's the naked heart of you
