[Verse 1]
Ooh when I tempt the lion’s den
Hunts me down and kills me every time
Innocence and trust, they always seem so close
And I guess I never had no one
Watching you change into a man
Underneath the rising of the sun
It always seemed so fun, just falling in someone
And I guess I never knew nothing
[Pre-Chorus]
And I’m just that rock n roll animal that you hate
As I stand before the mirror
Stand before you losing touch
Fashion kills, training the voices how to speak
[Chorus]
And you change my world, yeah you make me believe
Love is for the holy and the good get free
A killer undercover as you walk in the streets
All the love in the world and you can still see through me
[Verse 2]
How do we slip between two worlds?
I call it into question every day
Innocence and lies they get mixed up sometimes
And I guess I never knew your name
But I don’t want you to go
And I don’t wanna be gone
Rivers they can change but water stays the same
You think you really know someone
[Pre-Chorus]
And you’re just that rock n roll animal that I hate
As you stand before the mirror
Stand before me losing touch
Check your face, lost in yourself you come alive
Face me like a man as you are lying in bed
Scenes of television running through my head
A lover, I don’t know
But someone who comes to break the noise
[Chorus]
And you change my world, yeah you make me believe
Love is for the holy and the good get free
A killer undercover as you walk in the streets
All the love in the world and you can still see through me
One of these days you’re gonna open your eyes
See the wasted youth dying on the edge of life
You’ll never be the hero that I want you to be
I would kill for the beast but he would not kill for me
[Bridge]
And I guess that’s nothing, those dreams that I could love you
Dreams that I could hold you, dreams that I could still hold on
While my love was falling all around me, falling on the ground
Falling on the ground into pieces
[Chorus]
And you change my world, yeah you make me believe
Love is for the holy and the good get free
A killer undercover as you walk in the streets
I can stand in the way but you can still walk through me
One of these days you’re gonna open your eyes
See the wasted youth dying on the edge of life
God, you’ll never be the hero that I want you to be
I would kill for the beast, why would I not kill for me?
[Outro]
How many days do we lose in the night?
How many nights do we spend looking backwards?
How many days do we lose in our lives?
