King - I Cringed, I Died, I Felt Hot lyrics

Hear me talk to you Hear me talk to you Hear me talk to you Hear me talk to you If love is the escape Then tell me is a kiss the gate Hear me talk to you Hear me talk to you Too many lips it seems to me Are sealed to save their face Hear me talk to you Hear me talk to you The whispers of the dark Can seem cold and lacking heart Transparent under clinical scrutiny What was sweet becomes obscene Stinging your heaving spleen And gag as your force fed religiously Just like you did to me I cringed I died, I said, I cringed I died I felt hot Your just a pale imitation of my love I cringed I died, I said, I cringed I died I felt hot Your just a pale imitation of my love Hear me talk to you Hear me talk to you Hear me talk to you Hear me talk to you Because you're just a stranger now Via the New York tenements And the dancing Japanese Hear me talk to you Hear me talk to you From the heat of Adelaide To the clubs 'round Souchiehall Street Hear me talk to you Hear me talk to you The crippled lover crawls Their ego on the floor Easy prey for an opportunist I reached up too far For you were no Holy Grail Just a sad reflection of my hearts desire I cringed I died, I said, I cringed I died I felt hot To find your pale imitation of my love I cringed I died, I said, I cringed I died I felt hot Because your pale imitation of my love Hear me talk to you Hear me talk to you Because you're just a stranger now
