Last night I danced with a stranger;
But she just reminded me you were the one
A million faces at my feet;
But all I see are dark eyes
And the dirt of gossip blows into my face,;
And the dust of rumors covers me.
You know, the streets are filled with vipers;
Who've lost all ray of hope,;
You know, it ain't even safe no more;
In the palace of the Pope.
If this is love then gimme more;
And more and more and more and more.
Why does he look so righteous while your face is so changed
Today on the countryside it was a-hotter than a crotch
I got a poison headache,;
But I feel all right
Every time you leave and go off someplace,;
Things fall to pieces in my face
Won't you come with me, baby?;
I'll take you where you wanna go.;
And if it don't work out, You'll be the first to know
Well, I don't have to be no doctor, babe,;
To see that you're madly in love.
This is the key to the kingdom and this is the town;
This is the blind horse that leads you around
My conscience is beginning to bother me today.
She lit a burner on the stove and offered me a pipe;
"I thought you'd never say hello," she said;
"You look like the silent type."
People ask about you;
I didn't tell them everything I knew
she's true, like ice, like fire
Put my tears in a bottle
Screw the top on tight
Guess it's too late to say the things to you;
That you needed to hear me say.
the ancient empty street's too dead for dreaming
Love is so simple, to quote a phrase,;
You've known it all the time, I'm learnin' it these days.
I was in a whirlwind, now I'm in some better place.
If there's a poor boy on the street,;
Then let him have my seat;
'Cause tonight I'll be staying here with you.
When I met you, baby,;
You didn't show no visible scars.
We stare straight ahead and try so hard to stay right
Well, it's always been my nature to take chances;
My right hand drawing back while my left hand advances
Run your fingers down my spine;
Bring me a touch of bliss
I have dined with kings, I've been offered wings, And I've never been too impressed.
I can tell you fancy, I can tell you plain;
You give something up for everything you gain
As the last fire truck from hell;
Goes rolling by, all good people are praying
