Tekno Love Song

.

I fell in love with a bad, bad man

Ever since I met him I been sad, sad, sad

June faded into blooms, September’s moon waned and grew

Your perfume haunted me long after I saw the swing of heaven’s gate open in toward me

.

Luxurious in your arms, your smile is the cool sun in the dark

Misery rejoices when you’re near and fever

No sign of sickness keeps me burnin’ down in my heart

.

Winter melts, she shys away quiet like the silence a dying star makes

I’m a jail bird to your music, a criminal in your prayers

I watch you in your sleep even when you’re not there

.

Picture this: your lips on my lips

The mirror has to do for now ’cause you vanished like a cloud

Rainbows wept colour all over the streets

When you went away maybe one day we’ll meet

.

“Oh woman,” you’re callin’ me

I haven’t slept a wink since 1916

I wasn’t born then but sure feels time’s been tickin’

.

Shadows parade outside my door

I wish we were dancin’ across this old floor

Car horns honkin’ down that dirty street

I wish you were yellin’, tellin’ me to wash my feet

.

Lipstick I’d wear for one million years

Just to stop your eyes from fallin’ them tears…

.

“I fell in love with a bad bad man

Ever since I met him I’ve been sad sad sad

I’m a jail bird to your music

I’m a criminal in your prayer

I watch you in your sleep even when you’re not there

Rainbows wept colour all over the streets

When you went away maybe one day we’ll meet

Lip stick I’d wear for one million years

Just to stop your eyes from falling them tears”
