Hurt, dirt, desire
Hurt, dirt, desire
Dirt, hurt, desire
Hurt, dirt and desire
Hurt
It's a rare rare man who won't tamper with perfection
His desire a rare woman
Put natural selection in his hands
And he knows it
She's braced her life to his and his alone
And it throws him
Drawn in and wrapped around so very tight
There's nothing he can compare to
Nothing he's known before
Standing on a moving floor
He feels he's right to believe but he
Don't want to be hurt
Hurt, dirt, desire
Then who does that's nothing special
Hurt, dirt, desire
He'll get down and kiss the dirt
Dirt, hurt, desire
For this luxury of life he'll call hurt, dirt and desire
Hurt
She's having strange strange times she feels herself in motion
And she rides strange magic
Spells and pills and potions say "be mine"
She hears them
He's giving her so much much too soon
And she fears him
Even as it fills her every night
She knows just what is happening
Now every day brings more
Shaking a loose trap door
For what she will receive she says please I...
Don't want to be hurt
Hurt, dirt, desire
Then who does that's nothing special
Hurt, dirt, desire
She'll get down and kiss the dirt
Dirt, hurt, desire
For this luxury of life she'll call hurt, dirt and desire
Hurt
Willful and afraid they keep it under cover
Willful and afraid they keep it under cover
Don't want to leave a legacy lost and gone forever
Don't want to leave a legacy lost and gone forever
Feel the heavy heartbeat next to one another
Feel the heavy heartbeat next to one another
Strip away the secrecy celebrate the lovers
Strip away the secrecy celebrate the lovers
They hold it and believe but they...
Don't want to be hurt
Hurt, dirt, desire
Then who does that's nothing special
Hurt, dirt, desire
They'll get down and kiss the dirt
Dirt, hurt, desire
For this luxury of life they'll call hurt, dirt and desire
They don't want to be hurt
Hurt, dirt, desire
Then who does that's nothing special
Hurt, dirt, desire
They'll get down and kiss the dirt
Dirt, hurt, desire
For this luxury of life they'll call hurt, dirt and desire
Don't want to be hurt
Hurt
Hurt, Dirt, Desire...
