Venus

Tell me now and I’ll understand
Does Venus hold you in the palm of her hand
Has her blackness touched your very heart
She’ll smile sweetly as your world falls apart
(*Chorus)
And I just can’t quit it babe
I just can’t stand the pain
And I just can’t quit it babe
I keep running back again
Little by little piece by piece
Your defences have al slipped away
And real beauty’s such an elusive thing
Somewhere down the line you’ll have to pay
repeat*
Oh, no, it’s such a cold, cold feeling
cuts my body now tight to the bone
Oh no, it’s such a strange strange feeling
Love’s been abandoned and I’m so alone
And every day I see my flame growing dimmer
I’ve nothing left but this very life to save
And every night she makes me feel like I’m a winner
She’s taking me down to the grave
Venus smiles and encircles me
She wraps me in a soft princely gown
Waves of darkness rise like the sea
In her addiction I will drown
Repeat*
