Kingdom of Desire
Album - 16 novembre 1992 - Debaser id 29919

Downtown Jimmy, say you're feelin' kinda blue
It's no problem, this is whatcha gotta do
Telephone your baby, tell her that you're workin' late
Come and pay a visit, please don't hesitate

Come join the party, come along and be our guest
Sit back and let us do the rest, we're the best, yeah

Come on an' meet me at the station
Don't pack your bags, just fix your hair
Gotta get up, gotta get in, gotta get out
Just look for me, I'm always there

Chorus:
Come on let's ride, ride that gypsy train
All aboard, now don't you be afraid
Come on let's ride, ride that gypsy train
Feed the fire, let's go one mo' time again

Medication, little love and sympathy
Cool libation, it's complimentary
Play a little poker, love when the stakes are high
Lotta nasty women, givin' everyone the eye

Say downtown Jimmy, tell me whatcha need
Satisfaction guaranteed, guaranteed, yeah

It's a perfect situation, it's so nice to have you here
Gotta get up, gotta get in, gotta pull out
Happy shiny people everywhere

Chorus

(Instrumental break)

It's a perfect situation, it's so nice to have you here
Gotta get up, gotta get in, gotta put out
Happy shiny people everywhere

Chorus repeats 2x

Tired and frozen
I'm under your spell
I thought I knew you
But now I know you well
I wake up beside you
Move across your killing floor
I need my freedom and I see an open door
The room is getting smaller and the walls are closin' in
No one's leavin' and nobody's gettin' in

I try to run
I try to hide
I try to tell you what I'm feelin' inside
Should I stay
Should I go
You know I wanna touch you
But there's nothing left to hold

Don't chain my heart
Don't chain my soul
Don't chain my heart
'Cause you got to let it go

Looks like trouble
The signs are everywhere
I bend a little but you take more than your share
Crimes of passion
Crimes of mortal men
It's a deadly attraction and I won't be fooled again, baby
The storm is coming
The winds begin to rise
Please release me from this house of compromise

All day


All night
Your love is like an outlaw waiting till the time is right
Nobody's wrong
No one's to blame
Maybe it's just too hot because we're standin' in the flame

Don't chain my heart
Don't chain my soul
Don't chain my heart
'Cause you got to let it go

I'm a victim of your pain and jealousy
I feel like a prisoner and you hold the lock and key
We lost our vision
We lost our paradise
But there's still a part of me I refuse to sacrifice

(Instrumental break)

I try to run
I try to hide
I need to tell you what I'm feelin' inside, baby
Should I stay
Should I go
You know I wanna touch you
But there's nothing left to hold

Don't chain my heart
Don't chain my soul
Don't chain my heart
'Cause you got to let it go
(repeats 2x)

She got fingernails like knives, she got twenty-four karat eyes
She wants everything she sees, she'll drop you to your knees
She ain't gonna change her wicked ways, I'll love her till my dying day
She got poison heart, painted smile, she always has a girlfriend
(Hey, hey, hey, hey)

Chorus:
She knows the devil, she knows the devil
She knows the devil, and the devil knows me
She knows the devil, she knows the devil
She knows the devil, and the devil knows me

Whoa, whoa, whoa

Bad little girl with a vermin tongue, ooh, she loves to have her fun
The daughter of Mephistopheles, she loves to aim and she aims to please
She'll take any young god and burn him down
He'll see who's the queen and who's the clown
She got lips that bleed, she's what I need, I want her for my girlfriend
(Hey, hey, hey, hey)

Chorus

(Instrumental break)

She wants everything she sees, she'll drop you to your knees
She ain't gonna change her wicked ways, I'll love her till my dying day
She got poison heart, painted smile, she always brings a girlfriend
(Hey, hey, hey, hey)

Whoa, whoa, whoa, she knows the devil
Whoa, whoa, whoa, she knows the devil

The waiting game is over
No need for pretending, we were meant to be
It's only getting stronger
The love I feel for you, it's no mystery

I've got to find some way to tell you
Though our world seems far apart
It just don't have to be
The time has come to testify
All the feelings I've been holding back
It's time to set them free

Chorus:
I've been watching you from the other side
I've been wanting to hold you through the night
I've got to find my way to the other side
I want to hold you tonight and forever

The moment that I saw you
I knew inside my heart, all my dreams would come true
I know it took some time to realize
A love we can't deny, I've got to see it through

Chorus

I want to be the one who loves you, now and forever
I want to take my place beside you
I want to be the one to hold you, now and forever
I will meet you there on the other side

(Instrumental break)

Chorus repeats 2x

From the other side, from the other side
I want to hold you tonight and forever

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

[Instrumental]
