"Chorale" lyrics - JOHN CALE

Hold me down, hold me down, hold me down
To the light in your room, hold me down
Where the windows are broken around
And erosion of living is done

If your life is all broken and empty
Like the streets of New York in the dark
And you need just one friend to hold onto
I'll be there in the corner just for you

[Chorus:]
And the code of the living
And the code of the dead
Hand in hand from the beginning to the end

And the code of the living
And the code of the dead
Hand in hand from the beginning to the end

Hold me down, hold me down, hold me down
To the light in your room, hold me down
Where the windows are broken around
And erosion of living is done

[Chorus:]
And the code of the living
And the code of the dead
Hand in hand from the beginning to the end

And the code of the living
And the code of the dead
Hand in hand from the beginning to the end
Hand in hand from the beginning to the end
