Shakespears Sister

Producer: Shakespears Sister Richard Feldman

Think about what you're doing baby
Think about faith
Think of the blood that's running
'Round in your veins

You're soft and naked
You're young and strong
My heartbeat races
As you aim the gun

And these prison walls
Can't hold me anymore

Run silent, run deep
You've taken over me
And even when I sleep
Run silent, run deep

When you talk of reconstruction
Do you want it to last?
Don't talk of revolution
As a thing of the past
I need a hero are you on my side
Or just a temple for my sacrifice?

And these prison walls
Will have to let me go
Run silent, run deep
You've taken over me
And even when I sleep
Run silent, run deep

From my soul to your fears
From my lips to your ears
One heartbeat
In this world tonight
And in these prison walls
I see an open door

Run silent, run deep
You've taken over me
And even when I sleep
Run silent, run deep

Shakespear’s Sister is a pop-rock duo formed in 1988 by Siobhan Fahey, who left Bananarama after disagreements with the musical direction the band was going. The band was originally intended to be Fahey’s solo project, but immediately became a duo after she recruited American singer Marcella Detroit (aka Marcy Levy).
