lyrics

Sweet fascination was rekindled when I found you at the party
Floating slipping over the smoke we dispensed with all the small talk
Reborn in the wild lands conceived in open hearts of fire
Described in dancing eyes filled with our gentle passion

Carrying a message
Through the muted lighting
Charging up my nerves
Those deadened primal wires
My morals barely clung
Her scent had touched my tongue

Moving with supernatural melancholy caught up in a tango
We lingered full of longing broken spells when the music had to end
Ignored in the corner we enjoyed our friends discretion
Then out on the street the night air cleared my head

Receiving the message
True and clear as lightning
No refuge on the open street
No saviours on the sidewalks
She opened up her life
When she offered me the night

Riding to the station all the while imagining your bed
Rising through the iron skyline its clock counts down my doom

I could hear the message
Whispered from the sky
Floating out from the pale moon
Driving sane men wild
Reaching down into the animal heart
That wretched lustful child
