Toto - Kingdom Of Desire Lyrics
You used to be on fire, now you chill me to the boneWe used to fly like angels, now were sinking like a stoneYou say youre trying to help me but that aint the way it feelsI think youre trying to kill me with those stiletto heelsPaint the town black babe and let that pendulum swingI been stabbed in the back babeAnd if you dont love me, Ill never feel a thingAnd oh, one thing I know, theres only one place left for me to goChorus:Going back to the kingdom of desire, going down to the valley of the gunIm gonna stand too close to the fire, Im gonna fly too close to the sunThey say the king of love sleeps on a velvet bedMy sheets feel like sandpaper, and my pillow feels like leadBut as sure as atlantis sank into the seaIm sinking like a stone babe, thats how its got to bePaint the town black babe and let that pendulum swingI been stabbed in the back babeAnd if you dont love me, Ill never feel a thingAnd oh, if I dont have you, theres only one thing left for me to doChorus(instrumental break)When you dig up gods little acre, you lose all peace of mindYou stare into the distance, looking for a signBut that sign it never comes babe, your wishes wont come trueYou keep praying for the rain while the sun beats down on youAnd oh, one thing I know, theres only one place left for me to goChorus repeats 2xIm gonna fly too close to the sun, yeahIm gonna fly too close to the sun
