lyrics

It's 2am and the music stops
There's no one left but you and me
You throw one back and you move toward the door
but then you turn to look at me
Listen here, I don't want any protest
I'll tell you how it's gonna be
You'll arrive like a thief in the night
and make sweet love to me
Angel of death, you take me back to where we started from
I hold my breath until you're naked as the winter sun

Loneliness is a pissed-off kid with two little dolls in his fists
knocking us together 'til we come apart and he's alone again
You've got a way of getting everything you want from me
But lucky for you 'cause that's exactly how I want it to be.

Oh...let me run down from your chin like forbidden rain.
We've got nothing to lose, and nothing beyond the dead of this night to gain.

Throw me down on the bed like a sinister map of every place you've been
Draw the lines on my skin, irrefutable proof of this our beautiful sin
You'll be the king and I will bathe upon my roof
But forget the king - I don't care who you are, if you want the truth

Come away to the place where society bends us and the lions feed
Pull me out of the muck and mess of all that I'm supposed to be
You are my Jesus for tonight, I don't mind telling you so
but when we're through you better pick up you humanity
off the floor and go
