You used to be on fire now you chill me to the bone
We used to fly like angels now were sinking like a stone
You say youre trying to help me but that aint the way it feels
I think youre trying to kill me with those stiletto heels
Paint the town black babe and let that pendulum swing
I been stabbed in the back babe
And if you dont love me, Ill never feel a thing
And oh, one thing I know
Theres only one place left for me to go
Going back to the kingdom of desire
Going down to the valley of the gun
Im gonna stand too close to the fire
Im gonna fly too close to the sun
They say the king of love sleeps on a velvet bed
My sheets feel like sandpaper
And my pillow feels like lead
But as sure as Atlantis sank into the sea
Im sinking like a stone babe thats how its got to be
Paint the town black babe and let that pendulum swing
I been stabbed in the back babe
And if you dont love me Ill never feel a thing
And oh, if I dont have you
Theres only one thing left for me to do
Going back to the kingdom of desire
Going down to the valley of the gun
Im gonna stand too close to the fire
Im gonna fly too close to the sun
When you dig up Gods little acre you lose all peace of mind
You stare into the distance looking for a sign
But that sign it never comes babe
Your wishes wont come true
You keep praying for the rain while the sun beats down on you
And oh, one thing I know
Theres only one place left for me to go
Going back to the kingdom of desire
Going down to the valley of the gun
Im gonna stand too close to the fire
Im gonna fly too close to the sun
Im gonna fly too close to the sun, yeah
Im gonna fly too close to the sun
