They say, "Eat, drink and be merry, take the bull by the horns"
I keep seeing visions of you, a lily among thorns
Everything looks a little far away to meGettin' harder and harder to recognize the trap
Too much information about nothin', too much educated rap
Just like you told me, it's just like you said it would beWell, the moon's going up like wildfire
I feel the breath of a storm
There's something I got to do tonight
You go inside and stay warmSomeone's got a hold of my heart
Someone's got a hold of my heart
Someone's got a hold of my heart
You, you, you, you, you got a hold of my heartJust got back from a city, city of red skies
Everybody thinks with their stomach and there's plenty of spies
Every street is crooked, they just wind around until they disappearMadame Butterfly, she lulls me to sleep
Like an ancient river, so wide and so deep
She said, "Be easy, baby, ain't nothin' worth stealin' here"You're the one I've been waitin' for
You're the one that I desire
But you must realize first
I'm not another man you can hireSomeone's got a hold of my heart
Someone's got a hold of my heart
Someone's got a hold of my heart
You, you, you, you, you got a hold of my heartI hear that hot blooded singer on the bandstand croon, 'Poisoned love'
Red roses for a blue lady in Memphis in June
While they're beating the devil out of
A guy who's wearing a clouded blue wigI've been to Babylon and I got to confess
I can still hear that voice crying in the wilderness
What looks large from a distance, close up is never that bigNever could learn to drink that blood and call it wine
Never could learn to look at your face and call it mineSomeone's got a hold of my heart
Someone's got a hold of my heart
Someone's got a hold of my heart
You, you, you, you, you got a hold of my heart, oh yeah
