Sit on down and set me up and I'll lay it on the line
See my rhyme done lost it's reason and my rhythms out of time
And my cup be nearly empty now and my spirit be nearly worn
And my makeups smeared and tragic and my stockings tattered, torn
I have spoke the tongues of babble and I've scaled the walls of hell
And I thought that I'd found heaven but it was just another bar
And though my heart be heavy now and chaos like a friend
'Till I've stormed the gates of paradise this journey will not end
So take me, take me over
Take me through this night
Take me by the hand and guide me from the darkness to the light
I have singed the wings of angels and I've stole the crowns from kings
I have mouthed the words of righteousness with my mind on other things
I have drank the lesser spirits in the homes of better men
And I've courted all temptation
And I've cataloged each sin
I have cruised my way down sex street with the gorgeous and the vain
And I've freshened up my makeup on the boulevard of pain
And though I've been around the block and been around again
And 'till I've stormed the gates of paradise this journey will not end
So take me, take me over
Take me through this night
Take me by the hand and guide me from the darkness to the light
So take me, take me over
Take me through this night
Take me by the hand and guide me from the darkness to the light
And if you want to love me
Just let me hit you up before
And though there's half a chance I'll love you back
It's him that I live for
