Why did you let me run When you knew I'd fall for the gaping hole Where your heart should be Liar-couldn't cut me deeper with a knife if you tried Just take a look (before you run off and hide) At your victim arise
Clouds on you shoulder Aren't they grazed by the afterglow How quiet they gather When the storm is about to blow
CHORUS No don't look away Caught in the crossfire And it ain't no wind of change I'm talking of crime and passion's rage
Summer of madness or the undertow Dragged me up an alley for the blossoming fire On a stranger's smile Bride of wire-how disguise so easily cracked Saw your heart turn spade This orchid's turned to black
Graze on your shoulder Like the clouds in the afterglow How quiet they gather When the storm is about to blow
CHORUS
Way down by the shoulder In the haze of the afterglow Stranded together And the storm is about to blow
