And in the end the defender's defenseless
The thing with illusions, they're not what they seem
The base, it is bending, it's knocking me senseless
Senseless, relentless, the premise of dreams
I got it bad for you
What am I gonna do
I got it bad for you
Is this what I'm supposed to do
I went to the river just to forgive her
Witness the eagle who flies in the sun
I used to shiver, then I would wither
Wither thou goest, there I would come
I got it bad for you
What am I gonna do
I got it bad for you
Is this what I'm supposed to do
Got it bad, so bad
Got it bad for you
Gamble and stealing to feel the feeling
Reeling and rocking and blocking the light
Sealing my fate so I wait on the ceiling
Kneeling before the black gate of the night
I got it bad for you
What am I gonna do
I got it bad for you
Is this what I'm supposed to do
I got it bad for you, so bad
I got it bad for you
I got it bad for you, so bad
I got it bad for you

You tell your side, I'll tell mine
If you don't believe it well that's just fine
Our friends will all divide, couldn't come to a conclusion
Things blur in the middle of confusion
Surrender to persuasion
Surrender to persuasion

It was early in the morning, I was snuffing out the lamps
Figures stalked the sidewalk just like cats and vamps
You'd finished at the cabaret, you were flowing home
Dressed in feathers, and in leather, velvet, down and bones
Surrender to persuasion
Surrender to persuasion
[Steve]
You heard the sound of footsteps, you suddenly got cold
And to this day you still can't say if he was young or old
He took you by the hand and led you to a house
Dressed you into woman's fur, and got you all aroused
[Grant]
You sent for your possessions, delivered to his door
Have you still got your wedding ring, don't need it anymore
So that's my story told, if there's more I just don't know
Wish you all good happiness, now you're down below
Surrender to persuasion
Surrender to persuasion

The sun at it's highest
There's a fire in my throat
Where's the wind
Come on, move this boat
There are leaves in the water
I think there's land ahead
Is that a horn pipe?
There was a storm
The world turned over
The wave felt warm on my skin
There's a brilliant light
