Leave It Open Songtext

von Kate Bush

With my ego in my gut
My babbling mouth would wash it up
(But now I've started learning how)
I keep it shut
My door was never locked
Until one day a trigger come - cocking
(But now I've started learning how)
I keep it shut
Wide eyes would clean and dust
Things that decay, things that rust
(But now I've started learning how)
I keep them shut
I keep them shut

Harm is in us,
Harm in us, but power to arm
Harm is in us,
Harm in us, but power to arm

Narrow mind would persecute it,
Die a little to get to it
(But now I've started learning how)
I leave it open
I kept it in a cage
Watched it weeping, but I made it stay
(But now I've started learning how)
I leave it open
I leave it open

Harm is in us,
Harm in us, but power to arm
Harm is in us,
Harm in us, but power to arm
Harm is in us
Harm is in us
Harm in you and me
What you letting in?
Tell me what you're letting in
Say what we're gonna let in

We let the weirdness in.
