Dark Alleys

Walking like a limp I felt so empty hearted And soon departed to some strange room Where hung only pictures of you I saw my twisted face on those walls too I heard corrupted voices passing through Caresses and distresses all at once, They tore at me, I couldn't turn away I followed them through streets I'd never known Although the houses had a stare, Familiar and murderous to bear They led me through the wild, haggard night They tried to tell me I was too uptight Caresses and distresses all at once, They tore at me and then I turned away Hey you! When with lust I do pass through The dark alleys of my heart, I never fall apart I always think of you You protect me from myself My eyes become like glass; I can shatter and caress The shards against my heart And all the love comes spilling out And the waves wash away All the sickness and decay And then I fall in love with you
