[English]

They say, "The holy water's watered down

And this town's lost its faith

Our colors will fade eventually"

So, if our time is runnin' out

Day after day

We'll make the mundane our masterpiece

Oh, my, my

Oh, my, my love

I take one look at you

You're takin' me out of the ordinary

I want you layin' me down 'til we're dead and buried

On the edge of your knife, stayin' drunk on your vine

The angels up in the clouds are jealous knowin' we found

Somethin' so out of the ordinary

You got me kissin' the ground of your sanctuary

Shatter me with your touch, oh, Lord, return me to dust

The angels up in the clouds are jealous knowin' we found

Hopeless hallelujah

On this side of Heaven's gate

Oh, my life, how do ya

Breathe and take my breath away?

At your altar, I will pray

You're the sculptor, I'm the clay

Oh, my, my

You're takin' me out of the ordinary

I want you layin' me down 'til we're dead and buried

On the edge of your knife, stayin' drunk on your vine

The angels up in the clouds are jealous knowin' we found

Somethin' so out (Out) of the ordinary (Ordinary)

You got me kissing the ground (Ground) of your sanctuary (Sanctuary)

Shatter me with your touch, oh, Lord, return me to dust

The angels up in the clouds are jealous knowin' we found

Somethin' so heavenly, higher than ecstasy

Whenever you're next to me, oh, my, my

World was in black and white until I saw your light

I thought you had to die to find

Somethin' so out of the ordinary

I want you laying me down 'til we're dead and buried

On the edge of your knife, stayin' drunk on your vine

The angels up in the clouds are jealous knowin' we found

Somethin' so out (Out) of the ordinary
