[Verse 1: Dave Gahan]
There's a fragile tension
That's keeping us going
It may not last forever
But oh well it's blowing

[Chorus 1: Dave Gahan]
There's something magical in the air
Something so tragic we had to care

[Verse 2: Dave Gahan]
There's a strange obsession
That's drawing us nearer
We don't understand it
It never gets clearer

[Chorus 2: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore]
There's something mystical in our dreams
So simplistic it kicks and screams

[Bridge: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore]
All we will seem to reek on the edge of collapse
Nothing can keep us down

[Verse 3: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore]
There's a dizzying feeling
That's keeping us flying
Some glittering gauntlet
Without even trying
[Chorus 3: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore]
There's something radical in our hands
Nothing logical to our plans
