I expected love and pa**ion
But this seems to be my ration
Dealt out from on high
As I feel the years slip by...
The flipside of love is hate, they say
When I toss our coin
Only comes up one way
But I keep tossing
In rage and fascination
Rage and fascination
Rage and fascination
As I watch you...
When you're cruel, that's not what keeps me here
I'm not on a torch-song bender
You're too b**hy for my notions of a man
And your arms are far too slender
It's just my admiration
We do things very well
It takes a lot of know-how
Making such a stylish hell
All that disdain spiked with mutual acclaim
As we perfect our game
In rage and fascination
Rage and fascination
Rage and fascination
As I watch you...
You can make me feel like nothing with a gesture
It's like self-applause when you tug at your tie
I rifle all your pockets for forgotten change
When you're asleep
If you notice, then I lie
Come into my parlor
Said the spider to the fly
It's a whole new way to die
In rage and fascination
Rage and fascination
Rage and fascination
As I watch you...
