Lyric Kingdom Of Desire
You used to be on fire, now you chill me to the bone
We used to fly like angels, now we re sinking like a stone
You say you re trying to help me but that ain t the way it feels
I think you re 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 don t love me, I ll never feel a thing
And oh, one thing I know, there s only one place left for me to go
Chorus:
Going back to the kingdom of desire, going down to the valley of the gun
I m gonna stand too close to the fire, I m 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
I m sinking like a stone babe, that s how it s got to be
Paint the town black babe and let that pendulum swing
I been stabbed in the back babe
And if you don t love me, I ll never feel a thing
And oh, if I don t have you, there s only one thing left for me to do
Chorus
(Instrumental break)
When you dig up God s 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 won t come true
You keep praying for the rain while the sun beats down on you
And oh, one thing I know, there s only one place left for me to go
Chorus repeats 2x
I m gonna fly too close to the sun, yeah
I m gonna fly too close to the sun
We used to fly like angels, now we re sinking like a stone
You say you re trying to help me but that ain t the way it feels
I think you re 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 don t love me, I ll never feel a thing
And oh, one thing I know, there s only one place left for me to go
Chorus:
Going back to the kingdom of desire, going down to the valley of the gun

But as sure as Atlantis sank into the sea
