Depeche Mode

When you get what you need

It's no way of knowing

What you have is

Another hole to feed

Get the balance right.

Be responsible, respectable,

Stable, but gullible.

Concerned and caring,

Help the helpless,

But always remain ultimately selfish

Get the balance right.

There'll be times

When my crimes

Will seem almost unforgivable.

I give in to sin

Because you have to make this life liveable.

Something's changing, it's in your eyes...

Please don't speak, you'll only lie.

Sitting target

Sitting praying

God is saying

Nothing

Nothing

I'm not trying to say,

I'll have it all my way.

I'm always willing to learn

When you've got something to teach.

What am I trying to do?

What am I trying to say?

I'm not trying to tell you anything

You didn't know

When you woke up today.

Nothing comes easy

And that's a fact.

Nothing comes easy

But a broken back...

Let's have a black celebration,

Black celebration,

Tonight.

To celebrate the fact

That we've seen the back

Of another black day.

We're damaged people,

Praying for something,

That doesn't come from somewhere deep inside us...

Depraved souls,

Trusting in the one thing,

The one thing that this life has not denied us...
