Lyrics
Eyes over the city
Rise up from your soul
They hang over the streets at night
Brought on by the cold

We live with the numbers
Mining our dreams for the same old song
Why hope for the turning
If everything you know is wrong

[Chorus]
So come on, shake your rag doll, baby
Before you change your mind
Then come on, when the rapture takes me
Be the fallen angel by my side

You carry the lantern
I'll carry you home
You search for the disappeared
I'll bury the cold

Yours is a messiah
Mine is a dream and it won't be long
No hope for the journey
If no-one ever sees the dawn

So come on, shake your rag doll, baby
Before you change your mind
Then come on, when the rapture takes me
Will you be by my side

[Chorus]

So come on, shake your rag doll, baby
Before you change your mind
Then come on, when the rapture takes me
Will you be by my side

Hey come on, shake your rag doll, baby
Before you change your mind
And come on, when the rapture takes me
Be the fallen angel by my side

(Shake your rag doll baby)
(Shake it 'round)
(Shake your rag doll baby)
(Shake it 'round)
