The one that makes me scream," she said
"The one that makes me laugh," she said
And threw her arms around my neck
"Show me how you do it and I promise you
I promise that I'll run away with you
I'll run away with you"
Spinning on that dizzy edge
I kissed her face and kissed her head
And dreamed of all the different ways I had
To make her glow
"Why are you so far away?" she said
"Why won't you ever know that I'm in love with you?
That I'm in love with you?"
You
Soft and only
You
Lost and lonely
You
Strange as angels
Dancing in the deepest oceans
Twisting in the water
You're just like a dream...
Daylight licked me into shape
I must have been asleep for days
And moving lips to breathe her name
I opened up my eyes
And found myself alone
Alone
Alone above a raging sea
That stole the only girl I loved
And drowned her deep inside of me
You
Soft and only
You
Lost and lonely
You
Just like heaven
Just Like Heaven (Dizzy Mix)
Released on The Cure's 2003 compilation Join The Dots: B-Sides & Rarities 1978-2001, this remix of the band's iconic 1985 track reimagines Robert Smith's synth-pop masterpiece with an extended, hypnotic rhythm section. The original composition, which became a defining anthem of the post-punk revival era, features a soaring melody and introspective lyrics that explored themes of longing and emotional vulnerability. The Dizzy Mix expands the song's sonic landscape, adding layers of electronic texture and a driving beat that maintains the song's melancholic core while offering a distinct listening experience for fans of the band's discography. This recording stands as a testament to the enduring appeal of The Cure's work, bridging the gap between their early experimental sound and the polished pop-rock style that characterized their mid-1980s output.
