Ocean Of Lust

It goes ashes to ashes
from dawn 'til dusk
I am drowning in rivers
and oceans of lust
oh sweet lamb of god
whose side are you on?
oh sweet mother of pearl
I will kill that goddamn girl
And it's driving me to drink
and it's causing me to think
you're not alone
So where did you go
you're breathing so and so
where the hell have you gone
I've been asleep on your front lawn
I pick up your phone
I know you hiding there at home
And come on stop, stop your crying
cause I know that you been lying to me
And it's driving me to drink
and it's causing me to think
you're not alone
I would lay you down
Upon fields of green
under the biggest sky
you've ever seen
(Spanish)
How the hell can you just leave us
sweet mother of pearl
wont' you give me back my girl
And it's driving me to drink
and it's causing me to think
you're not alone
