The River

Like rats we are telling lies
Like a disease, you're my wildest obession
Like rats, we lie in the mud
Disgraceful and shameless
With each touch I lose myself a little bit more
I forget who I am and what I was fighting for
We kiss, but there's no bliss
And we won't miss what obession reigns

Play the hurdy gurdy man
Play till death do us part
Stay the course
Abandon yourself to this force
Bear your dreams into the river
Into the river

Secrets, immoral, impure
Secrets, overwhelming desire
Morbid lust penetrates each fiber of my being
Disgraceful and shameless
With each touch my body abandons youth
I inhale emptiness and I loathe the truth
We kiss, but there's no bliss
And we won't miss what obession reigns

Play the hurdy gurdy man
Play till death do us part
Stay the course
Abandon yourself to this force
Bear your dreams into the river
Into the river

I close my eyes and let it happen
What's this strange attraction?
