lyrics

I Am Dying To Turn You On

I’m in some kind of boutique clothing store
Nothing makes sense to me no more
I’m heading for the door
Everything is more than I can afford

What’s that, the cat got your tongue?
When Venus crosses the face of the sun
I’m gonna come for you
And you aint gonna be lonely no more

And I am dying to turn you on

I’d like to lodge an official complaint
How much longer must I wait?
I prefer the sweet company of saints
But I’ll make an exception

I’ve got a tiger’s tooth and a rabbit’s paw
God only knows what they are for
Salvation is free
But you’re expected to donate to the collection

And I am dying to turn you on

The woman in this place look so fine
The wine is older than them all combined
You’ll find no trace of the sublime
In this kind of suffering

Would you care to dance with me sister?
I’ve heard that one before mister
Something in your eyes reminds me
Of the ultimate fragility of everything

And I am dying to turn you on

OK, lets get serious
Loving you is a near death experience
I tried to run and hide
But I can never get enough of it

I don’t care if I look like a fool
It’s just so unbelievably cruel
That what ties us to this world
Seems to simultaneously sever us from it

And I am dying to turn you on
