Desire walks on
F#m7 E D7
Desire walks on
A beautiful boy gazed in a pool
His eyes looking back like jewels
The call of the mirror - too strong to resist
The call of the water - the call of a kiss
Desire walks on
Desire walks on
It wants to be held - possessed
It wants consummation
It moves on obsessed
Blodstream through pipes
Singing in the wires
Heat - motion - control
Desire walks on
Stand at the window
The world is so still
Calling you back by force of will
Where did you go?
I don't know why
Too much longing inside
You wrapped me in nighttime sexual disguise
I was the love in your eyes
You took me over
My innocence cracked
You own my passion
I want you back
Desire walks on
Desire walks on
