|
When the soul of the city was laid to rest |
|
And the night forgotten and left for dead |
|
I happened at a house built of living light |
|
Where everything evil disappears and dies |
|
When they love you and they will |
|
Tell them all, they'll love in my shadow |
|
And if they try to slow you down |
|
Tell them all, to go to hell |
|
I settled in slowly to this house that you call home |
|
To blood and breath, fair flesh and bone |
|
Blush of our bodies in the heat of the night |
|
All day, the day after, reddened the skies |
|
When they love you and they will |
|
Tell them all, they'll love in my shadow |
|
And if they try to slow you down |
|
Tell them all, to go to hell |
|
It's a lifeless life with no fixed address to give |
|
But you're not mine to die for anymore, so I must live |
|
Born of a bottle from heaven's hand |
|
And now you know, and here I am |
|
When they love you and they will |
|
Tell them all, they'll love in my shadow |
|
And if they try to slow you down |
|
Tell them all, to go to hell |
|
When they love me and they will |
|
I'll tell them all, they'll love in your shadow |
|
And if they try to slow me down |
|
I'll tell them all, to go to hell |
