Virtue and Vice - Fear, and Loathing in Las Vegas

Villainy has many forms, but none as vile as virtue The deapth of your commpassion is as shallow as your thoughts As you claim to embrace the angels Your intention are too dark to speak Like a wolf in sheep's clothing You pretend to be part of the flock And somehow you convince us all That you are something you're not Those words and actions tear us all down And you're not content 'til everyone around Is with you in that hole you've dug for yourself Die alone in thathole by yourself This id where I drew the line Sever all ties With no regrets

I dream of you Moment I can feel you there I can hold you But sometimes there's a shift in the motion I can't keep you near, just stand in motion Can I count on you? Can I count on you? You're my only virtue Inner demons That I can't seem to push aside I can't stop it And that's why I need you here I am no good but you steer me clear of my bad oceans Can I count on you To be there with me now? I can't bear the thought Of losing you somehow Please hold down the phone Since I am not around Can I count on you To be there with me? You're my only virtue Now I may not deserve you But I can not do without you Didn't know what I had lost You are my elevation You're the closest thing to heaven If you hadn't caught me Then where am I meant to fall? Moments I can feel you Hold you in my arms Feels as forgetting from Can I count on you To be there with me now? I can't bear the thought Of losing you somehow Please hold down the phone Since I am not around Can I count on you To be there with me? You're my only virtue Can I count on you? Can I, can I, can I count on you? You're my only virtue Count on you, count on you

Temptation hides In the space between Lord, help me fight this desire for fire Words can cleanse and purify Or tear down a pack of lies In your presence, consequence I can't stop trembling For all of my virtue Why can I not hold the truth? For all my good fortune I would change my place with you This path will lead us back Will lead us back to ruin For all of my virtue Why can I not hold the truth? This path will lead us back Will lead us back to ruin For all of my virtue Why can I not hold the truth? Once in a while The urge resurfaces So we split hairs as rumours circulate And there's a need to fertilise Behind my lover's trusting eye Like water drops on burning warts I can't stop trembling For all of my virtue Why can I not hold the truth? For all my good fortune I would change my place with you This path will lead us back Will lead us back to ruin For all of my virtue Why can I not hold the truth? I've fallen I've fallen again I've fallen I've fallen again I've fallen I've fallen again I've fallen
