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
ย
And let that pendulum swing
ย
I been stabbed in the back babe
ย
And if you don't love me
I'll never feel a thing
And oh
One thing I know
ย
There's only one place left for me to go, yeah
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
Hey
ย
Hey
Hey, hey
ย
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
ย
And let that pendulum swing
ย
I been stabbed in the back babe
ย
And if you don't love me
I'll never feel a thing
And oh
If I don't have you
ย
There's only one thing left for me to do, yeah
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
Yeah
ย
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
Keep praying for the rain
While the sun beats down on you
And oh
One thing I know
ย
There's only one place left for me to go, oh
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, yeah
Hey, yeah
ย
I'm going back
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, yeah
I'm gonna fly too close to the sun, yeah
I'm gonna fly too close to the sun
