Lying in her own asylum
|
Love has her in an endless coma
|
Tear marked pillows
|
Broken china
|
Things they say that love is made of
|
|
Wet and strewn
|
She lies sedated
|
Wrenched with arms and legs akimbo
|
Locked up in her own asylum
|
Locked up in love's endless limbo
|
|
The flesh is willing but the spirit is weak
|
The flesh is willing but the spirit is weak
|
|
Locked up in her own asylum
|
Feeling so ashamed and crazy
|
Lets the other inmates touch her
|
Touch intimate places on her
|
Love has her in a sea of vitriol
|
|
Tear marked pillows
|
Broken china
|
Things they say that love is made of
|
|
The flesh is willing but the spirit is weak
|
The flesh is willing but the spirit is weak
|
|
Swollen tongued and swimming eyes
|
Smiles but never ever smiles
|
Can't sleep at night for endless wailing
|
Weeping, wailing, howling
|
Love's shuddering howl
|
Love's shuddering howl
|
|
The flesh is willing but the spirit is weak
|
The flesh is willing but the spirit is weak
|
|
If she can hoodwink the doctor
|
She'll get out for good behaviour
|
She'll get out for good
|
Locked up in her own asylum
|
Love has her on her knees
|
Locked up in her own asylum
|
Love has her on her knees
|
|
The flesh is willing but the spirit is weak
|
The flesh is willing but the spirit is weak
|
|
Skin and bone
|
Hot and cold
|
Brazen brave
|
Brain and brawn
|
Push 'n' shove
|
Slick 'n' slow
|
Broken home
|
Love and you
|
You and me
|
Soft and sound
|
Smile and cry
|
Touch and go
|
Sad and slow
|
Break and bold
|
Wild and wound
|
Sleep and sound
|
Have and hold
|
Have and hold
|
Have and hold
|
|
