Lonely Child

Just as fast as you can
Just as fast the sun set
You push me away, you push me down
Down, down, down, where my dream's laid
And just as quick as you left
Just as quick as you left my heart undressed
And I felt down, down, down, down
You took my wish back to the well
And I remember all the words that you said
That love is just a spark that starts in your heart
And ends in your head
Darling calm down
Calm down, you lose yourself in the clouds
Slow down, slow down
Your world's spinning around
Play around the same, high state
Restless running wild
Just a lonely, just a lonely, lonely child
Just as dark as the night
Just as dark as the night went
I lost my mind, I lost control
Down, down, down
You let me steal my love for my soul
And I remember all the words that you wrote
That love is just the sound that plays in your heart
And gets caught in your throat
Darling calm down
Calm down, you lose yourself in the clouds
Slow down, slow down
Your world's spinning around
Play around the same, high state
Restless running wild
Just a lonely, just a lonely, lonely child
And I remember all the words that you said
That love is just a spark that starts in your heart
And ends in your head
Darling calm down
Calm down, you lose yourself in the clouds
Slow down, slow down
Your world's spinning around
Play around the same, high state
Restless running wild
Just a lonely, just a lonely,
Yes you're lonely, just a lonely, lonely child
Cha-cha-cha!
