Wheelchairs dance on polished floors A kestrel lands outside my window Seven floors above the world below It watches me with ancient eyes My body screams in shades of blue A brand new hip, a borrowed view I count my steps, I count my pain A human puzzle rebuilt again "I guess so. .I'm quite loveable", I replired whem someone tells me that Jesus loves me too But wait, if that's the Jesús from the beach tour I might have a different kind of prayer to do I'm in pain but I'm alive I'm in pain but I'm alive Every scar and every sign Says this heartbeat still is mine My Kindle vanished for a while Came back pretending all was fine While pain redraws the borderlines I walk with metal, slow and strange Eight Ecuadorians bless my bed Three generations overhead Maybe I'm healed, maybe I'm cursed Maybe this is the universe "I guess so, I'm quite loveable", I reply whem someone tells me that Jesus loves me too But wait, if that's the Jesús from the beach tour I might have a different kind of prayer to do I'm in pain but I'm alive I'm in pain but I'm alive Every scar and every sign Says this heartbeat still is mine Supermarket sells wine beside first aid Cigarettes bless the masquerade Coffee, medicine, broken dreams Nothing here is what it seems Sterbereferat points the way A sign that makes me laugh today I walk away with brand new bones Still searching through these hospital zones I'm in pain but I'm alive I'm in pain but I'm alive Every scar and every sign Says this heartbeat still is mine The surgeon traded steel for bone Now my hip has a postcode of its own The nurses clap because I stand Like evolution wasn't planned A hospital circus, bright and cold Where every strange story must be told Where angels wear a uniform And pain becomes a new kind of form I'm in pain but I'm alive I'm in pain but I'm alive Every scar and every sign Says this heartbeat still is mine. "I guess so, I'm quite loveable", I reply whem someone tells me tatJesus loves me too But wait, if that's the Jesús from the beach tour I might have a different kind of prayer to do Everything hurts, everything's fine I'm in pain... But I'm alive
