|
You used to be on fire, now you chill me to the bone |
|
We used to fly like angels, now we're sinking like a stone |
|
You say you're trying to help me but that ain't the way it feels |
|
I think you're trying to kill me with those stiletto heels |
|
Paint the town black babe and let that pendulum swing |
|
I been stabbed in the back babe |
|
And if you don't love me, I'll never feel a thing |
|
And oh, one thing I know, there's only one place left for me to go |
|
Chorus: |
|
Going back to the kingdom of desire, going down to the valley of the gun |
|
I'm gonna stand too close to the fire, I'm gonna fly too close to the sun |
|
They say the king of love sleeps on a velvet bed |
|
My sheets feel like sandpaper, and my pillow feels like lead |
|
But as sure as Atlantis sank into the sea |
|
I'm sinking like a stone babe, that's how it's got to be |
|
Paint the town black babe and let that pendulum swing |
|
I been stabbed in the back babe |
|
And if you don't love me, I'll never feel a thing |
|
And oh, if I don't have you, there's only one thing left for me to do |
|
Chorus |
|
(Instrumental break) |
|
When you dig up God's little acre, you lose all peace of mind |
|
You stare into the distance, looking for a sign |
|
But that sign it never comes babe, your wishes won't come true |
|
You keep praying for the rain while the sun beats down on you |
|
And oh, one thing I know, there's only one place left for me to go |
|
Chorus repeats 2x |
|
I'm gonna fly too close to the sun, yeah |
|
I'm gonna fly too close to the sun |
