Now I'm of consenting age to be forgetting you in a cabaret. Somewhere downtown where a burlesque queen may even ask my name As she sheds her skin on stage I'm seated and sweating to a dance song on the club's P.A. The strip joint veteran sits two away Smirking between dignified sips Of his dignified peach and lime daiquiri And isn't this exactly where you'd like me I'm exactly where you'd like me, you know Praying for love in a lap dance and paying in naivety Oh, and isn't this exactly where you'd like me I'm exactly where you'd like me, you know Praying for love in a lap dance and paying in naivety Oh, but I'm afraid that I Well, I may of faked it And I wouldn't be caught dead in this place Well, I'm afraid that I Well, that's right, that I may have faked it And I wouldn't be caught dead in this place And isn't this exactly where you'd like me I'm exactly where you'd like me, you know Praying for love in a lap dance and paying in naivety Oh, and isn't this exactly where you'd like me I'm exactly where you'd like me, you know Praying for love in a lap dance and paying in naivety Well, I'm afraid that I Well, I may of faked it And I wouldn't be caught dead in this place Well, I'm afraid that I Well, that's right, well I may have faked it And I wouldn't be caught dead in this place And isn't this exactly where you'd like me I'm exactly where you'd like me, you know Praying for love in a lap dance and paying in naivety Oh, and isn't this exactly where you'd like me I'm exactly where you'd like me, you know Praying for love in a lap dance and paying in naivety Praying for love and paying in naivety Praying for love and paying in naivety, oh

Burst into heaven Kiss in the cotton clouds Arctic sheets and fields of wheat I can't stop coming down Your shrunken head Looking down on me above Send me home like an elephant stone To smash my dream of love Dreaming 'til the sun goes down And night turns into day Rooms are empty, I've got plenty You could move in right away Seems like there's a hole In my dreams In my dreams In my dreams Down through the heavens Choke on the cotton clouds Arctic sheets and fields of wheat I can't stop coming down Your shrunken head Looking down on me above Send me home like an elephant stone To smash my dream of love Didn't your bed and bookshelf go And run, run, run away These four walls saw the rise and fall And your midnight getaway Seems like there's a hole In my dreams Or so it seems Yet nothing means anything Anymore

Gallows end waiting for the ones in line They defied the hands of doom Reign of death, turning everything to waste By the power of the king born With a heart of stone Like a devil's spawn Strive to crush the dreams of everyone below Only death relieves When their eyes turns black And the horrors will remain, with the heart of stone Heart of stone, heart of stone No one knows what goes on within those walls But the silence says it all No regrets by the ones who form the line They have had enough at last and With a heart of stone Like a devil's spawn Strive to crush the dreams of everyone below Only death relieves When their eyes turns black And the horrors will remain, with the heart of stone Heart of stone, heart of stone Heart of stone, heart of stone Death is knocking upon your gate of twisted lies Mark my words, there won't be another day this time Death is knocking upon your gate of twisted lies Mark my words, there won't be another day this time Gallows end waiting for the ones in line They defied the hands of doom Reign of death, turning everything to waste By the power of the king born With a heart of stone Like a devil's spawn Strive to crush the dreams of everyone below Only death relieves When their eyes turns black And the horrors will remain With the heart of stone Like a devil's spawn Strive to crush the dreams of everyone below Only death relieves When their eyes turns black And the horrors will remain, with the heart of stone Heart of stone, heart of stone
