lyrics

Whats the worst thing that you've ever done
Your eyes flicker like a candle by the window
This affair is right up there with the vultures
That circle over, our bed that's on fire with regret
This fire will become smoke signals that will give us away
Then baby you better come and put the fire out
Joking aside some things will never come clean
Who's joking, were bound by a kiss of deceit
What's happening to me
Deceit
As my angel, sheds her wings
Deceit
A vale across my eyes
Deceit
The devils, got her prize
This animal attraction has peeled away all of our bark
Were two sticks, rubbing together to build a fire
You rise like a flame that no man could ever tame
On this alter, I offer you my flesh for your heat
When the fire died down and the smoke cleared out the ashes
Now scatter, like dirty snow flakes to the heavens
But our smoldering fire can erupt like a fire of
Fallen angels, were bound by a kiss of deceit
Whats happening to me
Deceit
As my angel, sheds her wings
Deceit
A vale across my eyes
Deceit
The devils, got her prize

Tainted love aside, there are other tales of truckers, ghosts, and a search for a calm place to ride out the storm. I may be strange, but I think that's what makes me unique. Listen and judge for yourself. ... more
