The a**a**in of love has your name on a list He kicks down the door and he takes you away Snuffed and cold there's a face in the gla** You're locked in a room with the smell of decay Something is in the air You better say a prayer Something is in the air A spasm of faith that flickers and fades Daydreams lapse into a coma of waiting You sit inventing crimes to pa** the time Before you get caught, your confession is made Look at yourself, you're a flash in the pan You're a spark that's out, you don't remember your name
You're fossilized, you want blood from stone You've got a hero's heart but play a loser's game I'm talking to you I'm watching what you do I'm keeping the score One, two, three, four The apostle of love comes to bid goodnight He opens the door there's the scent of an old flame In a room of my own, there's a face that I know A conspiracy of needs and the swoon of a new game Something is in the air I better say a prayer Something is in the air
