[Verse 1: Dave Gahan]

Laying on your holy bed by the hallowed door

Feeling like an infidel not worthy of your floor

Tempted by your innocence, beckoned to my fate

I will face the consequence, I wouldn't hesitate

[Chorus: Dave Gahan]

I'm a man of flesh and bone

Rapture rushing through my veins

Passion flaming in my heart

Heavenly surrender once again, yeah

[Verse 2: Dave Gahan]

Shackled like an animal, chained to my desires

Just another sacrifice to love's eternal pyres

Tame me with your tenderness and break my brittle heart

Easily and elegantly tear my world apart

[Chorus: Dave Gahan]

I'm a man of flesh and bone

Rapture rushing through my veins

Passion flaming in my heart

Heavenly surrender once again, yeah

[Bridge: Dave Gahan]

We're living in a world full of illusion

Everything is so unreal

My mind is in a state of confusion

But I can't deny the way I feel

[Chorus: Dave Gahan]

I'm a man of flesh and bone

Rapture rushing through my veins

Passion flaming in my heart

Heavenly surrender once again, yeah

I'm a man of flesh and bone

Rapture rushing through my veins

Passion flaming in my heart

Heavenly surrender once again, yeah

[Outro: Martin L. Gore]

I'm a man of flesh and bone

Rapture rushing through my veins, yeah

I'm a man of flesh and bone

Rapture rushing through my veins, yeah
