AGONY AND ECSTASY - or "GOOD BYE, 2007"

One step further from agony
is one step closer to ecstasy.
Beat still, my heart:
the pounding keeps me awake.
I'll never know how it works
until I know how it breaks.

One step further from agony
Is one step closer to ecstasy.
You don’t believe me,
But I swear that it’s true:
There is a congress of angels
moving in step with you.

If I was standing still
I’d be clenched like a fist:
I’d be hard to ignore,
But I’d be easy to resist.
If I was standing still
I’d be as plain to see
As an awful monument
to complete inability.

One step further from agony
Is one step closer to ecstasy.
If I was made out of stone
I could always maintain
That I don’t have it in me to change –
and I must have it in me to change.
I can change -
Beat still, my heart,
I can change.

THERE IS A CONGRESS OF ANGELS MOVING IN STEP WITH YOU. HAPPY NEW YEAR
