                             Heartbeat - Lyrics
                              Ryuichi Sakamoto
                          (featuring David Sylvian)

                                  Heartbeat
                  (Tainai Kaiki II) - returning to the womb
                (Words by David Sylvian and Ryuichi Sakamoto)

                 I see the lines in the palm of its hand now
                 I listen hard, but no words spring to mind
                 It sounds so sweat, listen to its heartbeat
                         And I'm drowning in its sea
                             Falling at its feet
                         Listen to my heartbeat baby

                        The blood sail leaves tonight
                           Fated in its blindness
                   It won't be long before help is at hand
                           In the darkness sleeps
                          Cushioning the heartbeat
                          And I killed the captain
                               Sank the fleet
                       To liberate the heart beat baby
              And it sounds so sweat, listen to our hearts beat

                           In the darkness sleeps
                          Cushioning the heartbeat
                         And I'm drowning in its sea
                             Falling at its feet
                         Listen to my heartbeat baby

                  Speaks to ghost, and the source of light
                  Springs to life, and doesn't think twice
                  Wrapped in the blood cell, bathed in snow
                  Nailed to the source, and it won't let go
                    Bet on the bible, and grow from trees
                    Open the mind, and the heart was free
                    A hum in the silence, safe and sound
                    Trouble sleeps and the light is found

                                  Cloud #9
                          (Words by David Sylvian)

                             Should be dreaming
                           Hear comes the dreaming
                Beginning of happiness to the ending of time
                Up the ladder to the top of cloud number nine
