Laying here in the heat of the night Like two lovers do Sandpaper breath in my throat Trying to get next to you Looking for a word Gotta have a word Need a good word to say Next to you 2x Well we try and we try and we cry and we try Nothing more left to Working hard at the same old crime I'm bored of it and so are you Damn these old lies, damn the chains Damn the spoken truth Damn the past i can't erase God-damn you Well i kick my fate 'cause you like the tears But i kick away stubborn pride Don't say that you are really that amazed At the lack of love you find inside You can take apart a life with dynamite You can take apart of life with no faith You can take apart a life with endless strife But you take apart love with hate Next to you 2x Chorus: I'm an old hand I've been down here before I'm an old hand I know my way across this floor Fire in the darkness will get you through But luck you're going to always need Sometimes a man and woman just gotta move ahead Take a bow when it's over and leave Settle for the passion Level of trust Settle for a price to pay Settle for love in a fucked up world Settle for the take away Next to you 2x
