You used to be on fire

Now you chill me to the bone

We used to fly like angels

Now we're sinking like a stone

You say you're trying to help me

But that ain't the way it feels

I think you're trying to

kill me with those stiletto heels

Paint the town black babe

And let that pendulum swing

I been stabbed in the back babe

And if you don't love me

I'll never feel a thing

And oh one thing I know

There's only one place left for me to go

Going back to the kingdom of desire

Going down to the valley of the gun

I'm gonna stand too close to the fire

I'm gonna fly too close to the sun

They say the king of love sleeps on a velvet bed

My sheets feel like sandpaper

And my pillow feels like lead

But as sure as Atlantis sank into the sea

I'm sinking like a stone babe

That's how it's got to be

Paint the town black babe

and let that pendulum swing

I been stabbed in the back babe

And if you don't love me I'll never feel a thing

And oh if I don't have you

There's only one thing left for me to do

Going back to the kingdom of desire

Going down to the valley of the gun

I'm gonna stand too close to the fire

I'm gonna fly too close to the sun

When you dig up God's little acre

You lose all peace of mind

You stare into the distance looking for a sign

But that sign it never comes babe

Your wishes won't come true

You keep praying for the rain

while the sun beats down on you

And oh one thing I know

There's only one place left for me to go

Going back to the kingdom of desire

Going down to the valley of the gun

I'm gonna stand too close to the fire

I'm gonna fly too close to the sun

Going back to the kingdom of desire

Going down to the valley of the gun

I'm gonna stand too close to the fire

I'm gonna fly too close to the sun

I'm gonna fly too close to the sun

I'm gonna fly too close to the sun
