[rev. Aug. 27, 2015]

[Grant]
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

[Steve]
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
