I feel emotion
Messing around with my head
Obscene devotion
Chasing me back to your bed
I feel a danger
Wondering hunting for souls
You turn to face me
Secretly eating me whole
You can be right
You can't always do what you like
You can stay high
It would always make you feel better
I hear your weapons
Shooting me waiting to fold
Nothing can happen
Love always drives out the cold
Stand still face me
Search in my eyes for your truth
Nothing will phase me
Only the frightened will move
You can be right
You can't always do what you like
You can stay high
It would always make you feel better
You can be right
You can't always do what you like
You can stay high
It would always make you feel better
Obscene devotion
Taking me back to your bed
You can be right
You can't always do what you like
You can stay high
It would always make you feel better
You can be right
You can't always do what you like
You can stay high
It would always make you feel better
It would always make you feel better
