Ascend Lyrics by Nitzer Ebb

Ebbhead

1991

I first saw you
Without love and then you knew
Your fingers reached
I moved in the distance breached

Tell me what I'm doing here
Tell me what I'm doing here
To my surprise
I kissed you, you made me rise
Now by my side
I've missed you and let it slide

Tell me what I'm doing here
Tell me what I'm doing here
If all I ever wanted wasn't good for you
If the thing that I said, they just weren't true
Ascend, ascend my friend

I turned my head
And looked back, I had been led
When my heart jumped
We lost touch, our love had slumped

Tell me what I'm doing here
Tell me what I'm doing here
If all I ever wanted wasn't good for you
If the thing that I said, they just weren't true
Ascend, ascend my friend

I can see you looking down to keep away from me
But I'm stuck with this lack of ability
I can't refrain from coming here
It causes pain, you're so sincere
Ascend, I must ascend

So now alone
I find out your heart is stone
A helping hand
There is none from where I stand

Tell me what I'm doing here
Tell me what I'm doing here
If all I ever wanted wasn't good for you
If the thing that I said, they just weren't true
Then don't refrain from telling me
That all this pain is good for me

I can see you looking down to keep away from me
But I'm stuck with this lack of ability
I can't refrain from coming here
It causes pain, you're so sincere
Ascend
Ascend, I must ascend
