[edit]
Faithful is a lie, freedom's just a name.
Somebody tacked onto your ball and chain.
Love is a drug, you've been cannonized.
You wanna be a high priestess?
Then you've got to sacrifice.
Somebody wants you to put out your eyes.
And drag you lower on the ladder than he is.
Reel you in slowly -- kingfish on a line.
Some people get a kick out of makin' you suffer.
You try the patience of the gods,
In the heat of a moment's pleasure,
In your sad retreat.
Mistake the moment for the song,
The drama for the play, the actor for the role,
The neon light for day.
Somebody wants you to clip your wings.
Take shelter in the dark and the savage heat.

Somebody gets a kick out of seeing you suffer.
He can't take pleasure. He feeds on pain.
He ain't no gambler, he just likes to play the game.
It's a measure of the man, it's a candle in the rain,
To treasure the link and not the chain.
Instrumental to end.
