Lyrics
|
She's the face that haunts me from a doorway,
that drunken phrase that echoes and ricochets,
provocative and sleazy,
yeah, she's the sweat of breath upon my neckline
that whispered threat, my dark and spooky valentine
leering as she thrills me...
And who am I as I try to lose her?
a sack of nuts trembling like a child…
Who am I fighting to refuse her?
a stubborn putz with lust irreconciled…
She's the claw that grips me through the moonlight
that gaping jaw that snaps and slithers out of sight
insidious and deadly,
yeah, she's the curse of conscience and damnation
a fiery hearse of tragic destination
sneering as she lures me...
And who am I as I try to shake her?
a sacred nerd with quaking crucifix…
Who am I fighting to forsake her?
a sorcerer running out of tricks…
but then there's you and all the light that you bring;
You get me through another night as I sing...
She's the face that guides me like an angel
with spurs of grace that jab me as they jangle
beneficient and lovely,
yeah, she's the light that sparkles like creation,
burning bright in distant constellation,
spinning high above me.
And who am I as I try to reach her?
a billion eyes gaping in the sun…
Who and I praying like a preacher?
a billion cries rippling into one…
[repeat and fade with counterpoint parts]
She's the face that guides me like an angel
with spurs of grace that jab me as they jangle
yeah, she's the light that sparkles like creation,
burning bright in distant constellation
