Passion and Love
Passion and love

Passion and love so often confused
Only time reveals the roads we choose...
Oh-oh-oh, Oh-oh-oh...
Sparks with lovers can pull you down
Sparks with lovers is how you drown
No one can touch you now
No one can save you now
You took a sip from the Devil's cup
Inhibitions dropping with your clothes
The spark between old lovers
Never entirely goes away
Playing with fire is always dangerous
Unless you're a Phoenix rising again
Put down your box of matches
The oxygen always gets eaten first
Moving around the stage like a singer
Putting on a very big show
You always underestimated the danger
Of throwing all your cards in the air
Round and round, round and round
Getting dizzy, getting fuzzy
Seeing double, seeing trouble
Back away, back away
On and on, don't you know
You're in danger, what's the hurry
Get your feet back on the ground
Pull the stars back into you
You keep drinking from the Devil's bottle
Losing yourself with each and every sip
You chase that enticing little spark
As though it will light your soul
Playing with fire is a pastime
That you focus with intention
You keep hoarding all those matches
Like conflagration will save your life
Moving around your hotel room
You are dancing with your Angels
Getting closer to the edge
Remember heights are bad for you
Round and round, round and round
Getting dizzy, getting fuzzy
Seeing double, seeing trouble
Back away, back away
On and on, don't you know
You're in danger, what's the hurry
Get your feet back on the ground
Pull the stars back into you
Round and round, round and round
You're not making any headway
What's your game, what's your aim
Flying high, flying high
On and on, don't you know
You are floating to the edge
Untethered from this earth
You're heading out to the stars
Close your eyes, feel the rush
Look on down, see the clouds
You're out there in the Universe
And no one can touch you now
Yeah, no one can touch you now
Sparks with lovers will pull you down
Sparks with lovers, how you drowned
Yeah, no one can save you now
Passion and love so often confused
Only time reveals the roads we choose...
Oh-oh-oh, Oh-oh-oh...
