Her face is down

And her fingers hang loose

Like horsetail cigarettes

Looks like half a man is all she gets tonight

My little Hercules

Never hurt anyone

And he's the only way of getting home

So when you're between her lips

And the spine of her bed

When everything turns red

Well I see red as well

When you see the colour of love

I see the colour of hell



I lose myself

And I fall away

Past the sad and long dog days

Through a world in which i don't belong anymore

Past the barstool boys

Who take and take me anyhow

But they never take you away



So when you fall beneath her sheets

I lose my head

When everything goes red

Well I see red as well

When you see the colour of love

I see the colour of hell



Lord, lead me on

To a world that I can no longer find

My dear you are all the time
