Leave It Open

Album: The Dreaming (1982)

  • With my ego in my gut
    My babbling mouth would wash it up
    (But now I've started learning how)
    I keep it shut

    My door was never locked
    Until one day a trigger come, cocking
    (But now I've started learning how)
    I keep it shut

    Wide eyes would clean and dust
    Things that decay, things that rust
    (But now I've started learning how)
    I keep 'em shut
    I keep 'em shut

    Harm is in us
    Harm is in us, but power to arm
    Harm is in us
    Harm in us, but power to arm
    Harm is in us
    ("Leave it open!")
    Harm is in us, but power to arm

    Narrow mind would persecute it
    Die a little to get to it
    (But now I've started learning how)
    I leave it open

    I kept it in a cage
    Watched it weeping, but I made it stay
    (But now I've started learning how)
    I leave it open
    I leave it open

    Harm is in us
    Harm in us, but power to arm
    Harm is in us
    Harm in us, but power to arm

    Harm is in us
    ("Leave it open!")
    Harm in us, but power to arm
    Harm is in us
    Harm in us, but power to arm
    Harm is in us
    ("Leave it open!")
    Harm in us, but power to arm
    Harm is in us
    Harm in us, but power to arm
    Harm is in us
    Har in us, but power to arm
    Harm is in us [Repeat: x6]
    Harm in you and in me!

    What you letting in?
    Tell me what you're letting in.
    Say what we're gonna let in!

    "We let the weirdness in.
    We let the weirdness in.
    We let the weirdness in.
    We let the weirdness in.
    We let the weirdness in." Writer/s: KATE BUSH
