|
Divine intervention in this decaying world And this hip young dude stood passionately Succumbing to the he dog sound Of the mystifying beat combo That breaks down your door Take you high now, real high Kickin' down the devil's door Cheap thrills baby I need some more City on fire becoming me Let's hurry lover and fly together Majestic high and soaring now Babylon bares her breast again Time's like quicksand Soon again I'm standing naked in... Wonderland I feel mistreated Wonderland I feel defeated (but not for long) Tear the petals from this sweet narcissus Crumbles gently in the palm of my hand What once was inviting is dull and blinding Once magnificent has slipped away Serpent in my belly stomach crawlin' now Wipe the sweat from my furrowed brow Time's like quicksand Soon again I'm standing naked in... Wonderland I feel mistreated Wonderland Bound and branded on my back Wonderland Tired and cheated Divine intervention in this decaying world And this hip young dude stood passionately Succumbing to the he dog sound You know the sound that breaks down your doors Are listening to me now The sound of a mystifying beat combo That's gonna take you higher | |
