They say, “Eat, drink and be merry Take the bull by the horns” I keep seeing visions of you, a lily among thorns Everything looks a little far away to me
Gettin’ harder and harder to recognize the trap Too much information about nothin’ Too much educated rap It’s just like you told me, just like you said it would be
The moon rising like wildfire I feel the breath of a storm Something I got to do tonight You go inside and stay warm
Someone’s got a hold of my heart Someone’s got a hold of my heart Someone’s got a hold of my heart You— Yeah, you got a hold of my heart
Just got back from a city of flaming red skies Everybody thinks with their stomach There’s plenty of spies Every street is crooked, they just wind around till they disappear
Madame Butterfly, she lulled me to sleep Like an ancient river So wide and deep She said, “Be easy, baby, ain’t nothin’ worth stealin’ here”
You’re the one I’ve been waitin’ for You’re the one I desire But you must first realize I’m not another man for hire
Someone’s got a hold of my heart Someone’s got a hold of my heart Someone’s got a hold of my heart You, you, you, you Yeah, you got a hold of my heart
Hear that hot-blooded singer On the bandstand croon September song, Memphis in June While they’re beating the devil out of a guy who’s wearing a powder blue wig
I been to Babylon I gotta confess I could still hear the voice crying in the wilderness What looks large from a distance, close up is never that big Never could learn to drink that blood and call it wine Never could learn to look at your face and call it mine
Someone’s got a hold of my heart Someone’s got a hold of my heart Someone’s got a hold of my heart You— Yeah, you got a hold of my heart
