They say "drink and be merry,
Take the bull by the horns."
I keep seeing visions of you, a lily among thorns
Everything looks a little far away to me
Gettin harder and harder to recognize the trap
Too much information about nothin
Too much educated rap
Its just like you told me, just like you said it would be
The moon rising like wildfire
I feel the breath of a storm
Something I got to do tonight
You go inside and stay warm
Someones got a hold of my heart
Someones got a hold of my heart
Someones got a hold of my heart
You-
Yeah, you got a hold of my heart
Just got back from a city of powder blue skies
Everybody thinks with their stomach
Theres plenty of spies
Every street is crooked, they just wind around till they disappear
Madame butterfly, she lulls me to sleep
Like an ancient river
So wide and deep
She said, "be easy, baby, aint nothin worth stealin here"
Youre the one Ive been waitin for
Youre the one I desire
But you must first realize
Im not another man for hire
Someones got a hold of my heart
Someones got a hold of my heart
Someones got a hold of my heart
You, you, you, you
Yeah, you got a hold of my heart
I hear the hot-blooded singer
On the bandstand croon
September song, memphis in june
While theyre beating the devil out of a guy whos wearing a flaming red wig
I been to babylon
I gotta confess
I can still hear that voice crying in the wilderness
What looks large from a distance, close up is never that big
Never could learn to drink that blood and call it wine
Never could learn to look at your face and call it mine.
Someones got a hold of my heart
Someones got a hold of my heart
Someones got a hold of my heart
You-
Yeah, you got a hold of my heart
