 TOTO - Kingdom Of Desire Lyrics

You used to be on fire, now you chill me to the bone
We used to fly like angels, now were sinking like a stone
You say youre trying to help me but that aint the way it feels
9h1271?1531920shh10j
I think youre trying to kill me with those stiletto heels

Paint the town black babe and let that pendulum swing
I been stabbed in the back babe
And if you dont love me, Ill never feel a thing

And oh, one thing I know, theres only one place left for me to go

Chorus:
Going back to the kingdom of desire, going down to the valley of the gun
Im gonna stand too close to the fire, Im gonna fly too close to the sun

They say the king of love sleeps on a velvet bed
My sheets feel like sandpaper, and my pillow feels like lead
But as sure as atlantis sank into the sea
Im sinking like a stone babe, thats how its got to be

Paint the town black babe and let that pendulum swing
I been stabbed in the back babe
And if you dont love me, Ill never feel a thing

And oh, if I dont have you, theres only one thing left for me to do

Chorus

[instrumental break]

When you dig up gods little acre, you lose all peace of mind
You stare into the distance, looking for a sign
But that sign it never comes babe, your wishes wont come true
You keep praying for the rain while the sun beats down on you

And oh, one thing I know, theres only one place left for me to go

Chorus repeats 2x

Im gonna fly too close to the sun, yeah
Im gonna fly too close to the sun
