[Verse 1: Dave Gahan]
In your room
Where time stands still
Or moves at your will

[Pre-Chorus: Dave Gahan]
Will you let the morning come soon
Or will you leave me lying here?
In your favourite darkness
Your favourite half-light
Your favourite consciousness
Your favourite slave

[Interlude]

[Verse 2: Dave Gahan]
In your room
Where souls disappear
Only you exist here

[Pre-Chorus: Dave Gahan]
Will you lead me to your armchair
Or leave me lying here?
Your favourite innocence
Your favourite prize
Your favourite smile ("Yeah!")
Your favourite slave

[Chorus: Dave Gahan, Hildia Campbell & Samantha Smith]
I'm hanging on your words
Living on your breath
Feeling with your skin
I'm hanging on your words
Living on your breath
Feeling with your skin
I'm hanging on your words
Living on your breath
Feeling with your skin
Will I always be here?

[Interlude: Dave Gahan]
("Yeah!")

[Verse 3: Dave Gahan]
In your room
Your burning eyes
Cause flames to arise

[Pre-Chorus: Dave Gahan]
Will you let the fire die down soon
Or will I always be here?
Your favourite passion
Your favourite game
Your favourite mirror
Your favourite slave

[Chorus: Dave Gahan, Hildia Campbell & Samantha Smith]
I'm hanging on your words
Living on your breath
Feeling with your skin
Will I always be here?
I'm hanging on your words
Living on your breath
Feeling with your skin
Will I always be here?
I'm hanging on your words
Living on your breath
Feeling with your skin
Will I always be here?
I'm hanging on your words
Living on your breath
Feeling with your skin ("Come on!")
Will I always be here?
("Oh yeah! Wow!")

[Outro: Hildia Campbell, Samantha Smith & Dave Gahan]
Yeah, yeah, oh
Yeah
"Come on now. Everybody. Let's see those hands!"

Depeche Mode are recognized as one of the most artistically influential bands of the late 20th century. Commercially, they have released 14 studio albums to date, and sold more than 100 million records. Their most recent album, Spirit, hit the streets in March 2017.

The band got their start in Basildon, Essex in 1980, and named themselves after a French fashion magazine. They rose to fame with hits that have become “Just Can’t Get Enough” (1981), “Everything Counts” (1983), and “People Are People” (1984), to name a few. One of their most famous concerts was at the Pasadena Rose Bowl in 1988.

Martin Gore has been the band’s primary songwriter since Vince Clarke left in the early 1980s (and went on to form Yazoo and Erasure). Alan Wilder replaced Clarke on keyboards in 1982, but left in 1995 (reinvesting his creative energy in his band, Recoil, which he had started in 1986). Since then, the band has comprised frontman Dave Gahan, multi-instrumentalist Martin Gore, and keyboardist Andy Fletcher—all of whom are original members.
