CATHERINE WHEEL: FERMENT @SONG: TEXTURE Safe on the shore I've been sleeping Faced by the thoughts I've been keeping To break down the door Of my life I need more texture You need to give me more texture, texture, texture You need to give me more texture So deep inside I've been dreaming In a space too Confined, too concealing It's a race to remind You of days I can find ??? You need to give me more texture, texture, texture You need to give me more To break down the door Of my life I need more texture You need to give me more You need to give me more Texture, texture, texture You need to give me more texture, texture @SONG: I WANT TO TOUCH YOU I always thought the way you talked was neat And I dreamed that when you speak, you speaked to me ???

I want to touch you I want to touch you I want to touch you I want to touch you You're the only soul this side that makes me shed ??? And the crazy senseless things you may pretend It would really make my day If you'd only move away 'Cause I'm scared that if you stay, I'll want to touch you ??? I want to touch you I want to touch you I want to touch you But you're always out of reach And I can't control my speech And I'm scared that when we meet I'm fermenting, can't you see ???
