歌曲歌詞
Ah the man she wanted all her life was hanging by a thread
I never even knew how much I wanted you she said
His muscles they were numbered and his style was obsolete
O baby I have come too late She knelt beside his feet
I’ll never see a face like yours in years of men to come
I’ll never see such arms again in wrestling or in love
And all his virtues burning in the smoky Holocaust
She took unto herself most everything her lover lost
Now the master of this landscape he was standing at the view
With a sparrow of St Francis that he was preaching to
She beckoned to the sentry of his high religious mood
She said I’ll make a place between my legs
I’ll show you solitude
He offered her an orgy in a many mirrored room
He promised her protection for the issue of her womb
She moved her body hard against a sharpened metal spoon
She stopped the bloody rituals of passage to the moon
She took his much admired oriental frame of mind
And the heart-of-darkness alibi his money hides behind
She took his blonde madonna and his monastery wine --
This mental space is occupied and everything is mine
He tried to make a final stand beside the railway track
