Drug Called Desire

Red lights of resistance all tell me to turn away Stop signs say "No,this is the wrong and wicked way" But your green eyes they shine and tell me to go on anyway And just like a prowler I pounce from the pan straight into your fire Drawn into darkness by a drug called desire With a smile like the sun you lit up the land Like a lioness waits on a little lost lamb On the road to ruination this love struck rabbit runs his last mad mile Drawn to destruction by a drug called desire Your sharp fangs now glimmer underneath a silver moon Your red eyes are roaming,seeking to feast on another bold fool And just like a tool you use me till I'm bent and I'm broken Your toxic tongue traps me now I'm coughing and choking My soul is now smoking In purple pain shadows you leave me to die Drawn into death by a drug called desire

Thank you and I know that the great ones don't need to loudly advertise...but time will tell the tale in its own sweet time
