When I first met you on the roof

you caught me with your web of youth

but now I know the wicked truth

it's much too late so what's the use in fighting?

You peel me like an onion skin

and wonder at the state I'm in

one day you'll turn up to begin

and find there's nothing left but innuendo.

Beside you others fade away

like amateurs in love's charade

much more than just a game you play

these subtle moves become a way of living.



Night after night I try to prove

that I can resist you

tied up inside your love voodoo

designed to manipulate.

The queen of sensuality

you shelter me from liberty

it's nothing short of piracy

that's not to say it doesn't

please me sometimes.

Now this may come as no surprise

but I'm content to compromise

until the day you realise

that I have been manipulating you.



Night after night I try to prove

that I can resist you

tied up inside your love voodoo

designed to manipulate.



(MID)



Night after night (echo)

I can resist you

tied up inside your love voodoo

designed to manipulate.



Night after night I try to prove

that I can resist you

tied up inside your love voodoo

designed to manipulate.
