[Verse 1: Dave Gahan]
As your boney fingers close around me
Long and spindly, death becomes me
Heaven, can you see what I see?
Hey, you pale and sickly child
You're death and living reconciled
Been walking home a crooked mile
[Pre-Chorus 1: Dave Gahan]
Paying debt to karma
You party for a living
What you take won't kill you
But careful what you're given
[Chorus: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore]
Can you feel a little love?
Can you feel a little love?
Dream on, dream on
[Verse 2: Dave Gahan]
There's no time for hesitating
Pain is ready, pain is waiting
Primed to do it's educating
Unwanted, uninvited kin
It creeps beneath your crawling skin
It lives without, it lives within you
[Pre-Chorus 2: Dave Gahan]
Feel the fever coming
You're shaking and twitching
You can scratch all over
But that won't stop you itching
[Chorus: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore]
Can you feel a little love?
Can you feel a little love?
Dream on, dream on
[Interlude]
[Verse 3: Dave Gahan]
Blame it on your karmic curse
Or shame upon the universe
It knows its lines, it's well-rehearsed
It sucked you in, it dragged you down
To where there is no hallowed ground
Where holiness is never found
[Pre-Chorus 1: Dave Gahan]
Paying debt to karma
You party for a living
What you take won't kill you
But careful what you're given
[Chorus: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore]
Can you feel a little love?
Can you feel a little love?
Dream on, dream on
[Chorus: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore]
Can you feel a little love?
Can you feel a little love?
Dream on, dream on
[Outro: Dave Gahan]
Dream on, dream on
As your boney fingers close around me
Long and spindly, death becomes me
Heaven, can you see what I see?
Hey, you pale and sickly child
You're death and living reconciled
Been walking home a crooked mile
[Pre-Chorus 1: Dave Gahan]
Paying debt to karma
You party for a living
What you take won't kill you
But careful what you're given
[Chorus: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore]
Can you feel a little love?
Can you feel a little love?
Dream on, dream on
[Verse 2: Dave Gahan]
There's no time for hesitating
Pain is ready, pain is waiting
Primed to do it's educating
Unwanted, uninvited kin
It creeps beneath your crawling skin
It lives without, it lives within you
[Pre-Chorus 2: Dave Gahan]
Feel the fever coming
You're shaking and twitching
You can scratch all over
But that won't stop you itching
[Chorus: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore]
Can you feel a little love?
Can you feel a little love?
Dream on, dream on

[Verse 3: Dave Gahan]

Can you feel a little love?
Can you feel a little love?
Dream on, dream on
[Chorus: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore]
Can you feel a little love?
Can you feel a little love?
Dream on, dream on
