|
Its like a magic |
|
I've got to have it |
|
Whatever lies out of reach of me |
|
And to despise it |
|
Just magnifies it |
|
Can't obliterate the need |
|
You're bad news disguised |
|
Dressed and painted with lies |
|
But I just can't see |
|
When truth is concealed |
|
How the danger appeals |
|
But my conscience sees |
|
I heard it from the preacher man |
|
He said leave that boy alone |
|
He's no good for you |
|
I heard it from the preacher man |
|
He said heaven must have sent you |
|
But the devil's gonna get you |
|
He's gonna do it for you |
|
You're like a black cat |
|
Who always knows that |
|
It's life is a mystery |
|
You mesmerize me |
|
And then you hypnotize me |
|
'Til obsession devours me |
|
You're silky words soothe me |
|
As they move me |
|
To ecstasy |
|
And just as I'm falling |
|
I hear a voice calling |
|
Don't believe |
|
I heard it from the preacher man |
|
He said leave that boy alone |
|
He's no good for you |
|
I heard it from the preacher man |
|
He said heaven must have sent you |
|
But the devil's gonna get you |
|
He's gonna do it for you |
|
You're bad news disguised |
|
Dressed and painted with lies |
|
But I just can't see |
|
When truth is concealed |
|
How the danger appeals |
|
But my conscience sees |
|
I heard it from the preacher man |
|
He said leave that boy alone |
|
He's no good for you |
|
I heard it from the preacher man |
|
He said heaven must have sent you |
|
But the devil's gonna get you |
|
He's gonna do it for you |
