lyrics

I’m looking at my mother
I’m turning into my father
I do whatever I gotta
To provide for my daughter
I would carry the water

I can’t tell if you remind me
Of her or she reminds me of you
She sold me her body but I wanted
No I needed something more
Yea I needed a whole lot more

Walk through the hallway
She’s heaven above me
Her dance on the ceiling
Makes me feel lonely
Brown eyes they show me
I’m safe in your arms
She said tell me your secret
I’ll do you no harm

We were human before this
We did whatever we wanted
Desire leads us toward it
Shows us that we’re immortal
Now we’re trapped with the mortals
Shows us that we’re immortal
Now we’re trapped with the mortals

Walk through the hallway
She’s heaven above me
Her dance on the ceiling
Makes me feel lonely
Brown eyes they show me
I’m safe in your arms
She said tell me your secret
I’ll do you no harm

Walk through the hallway
She’s heaven above me
Her dance on the ceiling
Makes me feel lonely
Brown eyes they show me
I’m safe in your arms
She said tell me your secret
I’ll do you no harm

I’ll do you no harm
Straight to my head
Make you feel lucky
Laying in my bed
I’ll do you no harm
Straight to my head
Make you feel lucky
Take me instead

I’ll do you no harm
Straight to my head
Make you feel lucky
Laying in my bed
I’ll do you no harm
Straight to my head
Make you feel lucky
Take me instead
I’ll do you no harm
Straight to my head
Make you feel lucky
Take me instead
