Now you’ve got me on the line;
Now you’ve got me in the midnight:
I hold on like I was in my stride,
I was on my ride,
And I lie thigh to thigh,
And I, I, I comply.
You know I saw you in a whole new light -
I feel I’m holding onto something after midnight;
Outside I lie, strumming back and forth
In a shimmering light.
Melt my name into the fire;
Colour me in desire -
Something deadly in your lips
Closes in with poison tips…
Secret echoes sound in the night;
Blue smoke rising at half past midnight;
Games of old on repeat
In the eye of your red pure heat.
Now I lie within your fire,
You feel me whole and you hold me light -
Closing up, in for the kill,
I’ve no chance, come take your fill.
Melt my name into the fire;
Colour me in desire -
Something deadly in your lips
Closes in with poison tips…
Melt my name…
Melt my name…
Melt my name in your lips:
Melt my name in your lips;
Melt my name.
