The Operation

Charlotte Gainsbourg

I want to explore you 
I'm gonna get under your skin 
So you can feel me running through your veins 

I want to examine 
Every inch of your frame 
The pressure points that cause your joy and pain 

Our love goes under the knife 
There is no room for doubt 

Now I'm inside you 
My hands can feel their way 
Further inside than I have ever been 

Now I can really 
Mess around with your heart 
And fill it to the brim with broken dreams 

Our love goes under the knife 
Two lives may be saved 

And if I pull this off 
I'll refuse the nobel prize 
Instead I will look into your eyes 

If I pull this off your whole body will be mine 
And I'm prepared to work throughout the night 

Our love goes under the knife 
Nothing is taboo 
...here on the cutting edge of science 

Too much information 
I feel I'm getting lost 
Absorbed into the fibre of your soul 

Deep within the abbatoir 
Of your entrails your insides 
Lost in you forever far from home 

Our love goes under the knife 
Someone got too close 

Our love goes under the knife 
The heart was rejected by the host
