[Verse 1]

In my love

Every heart is beating

I'm all love

Can't you feel me feeling?

Take my hand

Cold like a junkie

I'm an ice cold man

(I'm an ice cold man)

Why am I crying for you?

[Chorus]

All this love I felt for you

[Verse Two]

I'm so tough

Can't you see me running?

See, I can touch

Can you feel me coming?

I see the world

In claws of freedom

These metal eyes, they can't disguise

The fact that I

Need something to believe in

But they're not crying for you

[Chorus 2]

I said goodbye to the world I knew

G#m D#m

And took off into inner space
