Lay Your Hands On Me

A burnt out truck on a desert highway
Frank on the radio doing it my way
And the Sun beats down it's a hundred and ten
And the girl in the back vows never again
There's too many bends in the road too many curves
And the way I pout gets on your nerves
Those who hear not the music think the dancer mad
And all I've got to say to you it's the best time I ever had
Lay your hands on me
Lay your hands on me
Reach out and touch and lay your hands on me
Lay your hands on me
Lay your hands on me
Reach out and touch and lay your hands on me
Wipe the sweat from my fevered brow
Holy Moses I'm a sacred cow
Love isn't fear love isn't possession
And love doesn't bind with the guilt of transgression
I'm breaking the skin of a papier-mache grin
I'm only curious I've never been that brave
And I know how it feels with the devil at my heels
To be the sinner that the good lord never saved
Lay your hands on me
Lay your hands on me
Reach out and touch and lay your hands on me
Lay your hands on me
Lay your hands on me
Reach out and touch and lay your hands on me
I've been diving for pearls, now I'm coming up for air
Just because I understand doesn't mean I care
Another bleeding heart messiah a cold savior machine
Selling me absolution as the American dream
You're always there to catch me catch me when I fall
First a kiss and then and then you want it all
Once I was an angel now my halo is on fire
I'm burning up I'm shedding skin and I'm walking a high tight wire
Lay your hands on me
Lay your hands on me
Reach out and touch and lay your hands on me
Lay your hands on me
Lay your hands on me
Reach out and touch and lay your hands on me
