with Meatloaf



Up in the attic where the skeletons hide

We all live in fear of the door and what's behind

A door you dare not open, 'cause what you'll find

A close encounter of the sexual kind

Love in the shadows, like a smoking gun



Batten down, baby, lock all doors, you got the love that I'm coming for

Your hair's so straight, I can make it curl

There's a little bit of bad in every good little girl

Love in the shadows, like a smoking gun



Is it really what you want, one more broken heart, one more lost and lonely

Is it really what you need, another broken heart



Chorus:

When it happens, it'll be magical, I'm not knocking it, here's to the magic

When it happens, it'll be magical, I'm not knocking it, here's to the magic



Pull up the blankets, you won't hear a sound

The pounding's like thunder when it shakes the ground

You got a hunger only I can feed

You try to fight it off but you're in too deep

Love in the shadows, love in the shadows, like a smoking gun



Is it really what you want, one more broken heart, one more lost and lonely

Is it really what you need, another broken heart



(chorus)



Heat, flame, embers - it can be magical

Heat, flame, embers - smoking, smoking

(repeats 2x)



Fire keeps burning up, fire keeps burning



(chorus repeats out...)
