Curse of my Desire (5:04)

Predawn
Pulling songs from a shell
Drawing blood from a five-star bar belle
Weighing in pounds two wrongs that just may be right
Smoothin’ it out under moonlight

All night the seatbelts whip in the wind
Clutching a dream through an outright tailspin
Kidnap my love my serial pretty
Then drag her through the fast lane to projection city

You take me in with simple eyes
You’re so patient it makes me cry
I’m waving to you as the water climbs higher
Brace with me for the curse of my desire

Sometimes I’m in touch with my soul
Sometimes it’s as dark as dark goes
Sometimes I’m the king of rock and roll
Sometimes I’m the has-been that never was

But still you take me in with simple eyes
You’re so patient it makes me cry
I’m screaming for you as the fire climbs higher
Tie me down for the curse of my desire
