TALK TALK
- Ascension Day Lyrics / with translations(Mark Hollis / Tim Friese-Greene)
Bet I'll be damned
Built the debt I turned twos up today
Bet I'll be damned
Gets harder to sense to sail
Farewell
Mother numb to and devout to
Reckon luck sees us the same
Weighted my hand
Kill the bed I'll burn on judgement day
Weighted my hand
Get hard hit to sin to sail
Farewell
Mother numb to and devout to
Double deal
A season wrapt
Too lax to lapse so soon
Reckon luck sees us the same
Bed on my back
Dealt my hell I've dealt my months of May
Bed on my back
Get parted ascension day
Farewell
Mother numb to and devout to
Reckon luck sees us the same
Reckon love deals us the same
Bet I'll be damned
Built the debt I turned twos up today
Bet I'll be damned
Gets harder to sense to sail
Farewell
Mother numb to and devout to
Reckon luck sees us the same
Weighted my hand
Kill the bed I'll burn on judgement day
Weighted my hand
Get hard hit to sin to sail
Farewell
Double deal
A season wrapt
Too lax to lapse so soon
Reckon luck sees us the same
Bed on my back
Dealt my hell I've dealt my months of May
Bed on my back
Get parted ascension day
Farewell
Mother numb to and devout to
Reckon luck sees us the same
Reckon love deals us the same
