    E5           E5           E5              E5 
I'm harboring a fugitive, a defector of a kind 
                                
And she lives in my soul, and drinks of my wine 
        E5            E5     E5        E5               
And I'd give my last breath just to keep us alive 
  
Are they coming for us with cameras or guns? 

We don't know which, but we gotta run 

And you say, "this is not what I bargained for" 
  

   E5    E5   E5  E5           
So hide yourself for me 
   {similar to intro here...} 
All for me 
 
We swore to ourselves we'd go to the end of the world 
But I got caught up in the whirl, the twirl of it all 
A day in the sun, dancing alone, baby I'm so sorry 
  
Now it's coming to you; the lessons I've learned 
Won't do you any good, you've got to get burned 
Well the curse and the blessing, they're one and the same 
Baby it's all such a treacherous game 
  
Hide yourself for me 
I said hide yourself for me 
All for me 
  
Ooooohhhhhhh {instrumental} 
  
I stood without clothes, danced in the sand 
I was aching with freedom , and kissing the damned 
I said, "remember this is how it should be" 
  
Baby, I said, it's all in our hands 
Got to learn to respect what we don't understand 
We are fortunate ones, fortunate ones I swear 
  
Hide yourself for me 
I will hide myself for you, ohhh 
I will hide myself for you, ah ahahh 
I will hide myself for you, all for you {tacet} 
  
I stood without clothes, danced in the sand 
I was aching with freedom , and kissing the damned 
I said, "Remember this is how it should be"
