Version 1 of the lyrics

1  Faithful is a lie, freedom's just a name.   Faithful is a lie                            1
2  Somebody tacked onto your ball and chain.   Freedom's just a game                    2
3  Love is a drug, you've been cannonized.   somebody tacked onto                                   3
4  You wanna be a high priestess?   your ball and chain                   4
5  Then you've got to sacrifice.   Love is a drug             5
6                             You've been canonized 6
7  Somebody wants you to put out your eyes.   Want             to be a high priestess? 7
8  And drag you lower on the ladder than he is.   then       you got to sacrifice                        8
9  Reel you in slowly -- kingfish on a line.   Somebody wants you                                     9
10  Some people get a kick out of makin' you suffer.   to put               out your eyes               10
11                           and drag you lower 11
12  You try the patience of the gods,   on      the ladder than he is 12
13  In the heat of a moment's pleasure,   Reel you in slowly                         13
14  In your sad retreat.   kingfish on a line 14
15  Mistake the moment for the song,   Some people get a kick        15
16  The drama for the play, the actor for the role,   out of making you suffer                              16
17  The neon light for day.              You try the patience of the gods 17
18                          in the heat of a 18
19  Somebody wants you to clip your wings.   moment's pleasure                              19
20  Take shelter in the dark and the savage heat.                                 and your sad retreat 20
21  Mocks you with the burning sky and drops you in the ring.   Mistake            the moment for                      the song 21
22  Somebody gets a kick out of seeing you suffer.   The actor for the role                           22
23                                The neon light for day 23
24  He can't take pleasure. He feeds on pain.   Somebody wants you                                  24
25  He ain't no gambler, he just likes to play the game.                                             to clip your wings 25
26  It's a measure of the man, it's a candle in the rain,   Take shelter                                          in the dark 26
27  To treasure the link and not the chain.                                  and      the savage heat 27
28                                         Mocks you with the burning sky 28
29  [Instrumental to end.]                  and drops you in the ring 29
30                             Somebody gets a kick 30
31                                  out of seeing you suffer 31
