In a backstreet bar

On the south side of town

Where the music never stops

And the sun never hangs around

Two lovers meet

And their eyes feel the heat

They're moving to the sound

and they're feet never touch the ground

Never touch the ground



CHORUS

Passion play

It's a game to take your breath away

Passion play

It's a game to take your breath away

Passion play



She feels kinda shy

As she turns on the make

She got the inside moves

Always gets what she means to take

He feels kinda loose

As she tightens the noose

He's got the front runner on him

And nothing but his luck to lose

And that's a lot to lose



CHORUS



It's just a passion play



Works up a sweat

And it's all for effect

As she takes another drag

Off her cigarette

He'll never really know

Her feelings never show

She's cut him down to size

With the fire in her eyes

And nowhere to run

Nothing to say

Is there any other way

Than to call it on a passion play



CHORUS



In a backstreet bar

On the south side of town

Where the music never stops

And the sun never hangs around

Two lovers die

As the passion hits their eyes

Moving to the sound

and their feet never touch the ground



CHORUS
