This is a straight song It’s made for you It shouldn’t take long ‘cuz that’s not what I want to do And all I wanted Well it keeps on coming true Why shouldn’t you? You’ve got to die a little If you really want to go It’s got to hurt a little If you really want to know So let’s lie a little Together you and me And be as true as true can be He who wants to know Must surely hold His body As he Who holds The door Will surely know A showdown I’d feel the world for you If you weren’t doing it for me I’d steal the girl in you If you weren’t letting her go free
I would pretend I would pretend to be a friend If that was what we had to be I’ll cross the threshold Into the lair I’ll pat the lion on its head I won’t despair I won’t despair Though claws are sharp and they might tear I will be bringing it back to you You know I will He who wants to know Must surely hold His body As He who holds The door Will surely know A showdown I’ve never been there I want to go But I don’t dance So do you want to stay after the show? For now I’ll stand here With my back against the wall Watching everything you do
