Bruise Pristine Lyrics by Placebo

A Place for Us to Dream

1995

[Verse 1]
The means are ripe for taking, fade to grey
Trying to be ruthless in the face of beauty
In this matrix it's plain to see
It's either you or me

[Chorus]
Bruise
Pristine
Serene
We were born to lose

[Verse 2]
Cast a line with a velvet glove
Reading like an open book, in the hands of love
In this matrix it's plain to see
It's either you or me

[Chorus]
Bruise
Pristine
Serene
We were born to lose

Encore [echoed]

[Verse 1]
The means are right for taking, fade to grey
Trying to be ruthless in the face of beauty
In this matrix it's plain to see
It's either you or me

[Chorus]
Bruise
Pristine
Serene
We were born to lose
