Lyrics

I expected love and passion But this seems to be my ration Dealt out from on high As I feel the years slip by The flipside of love is hate, they say When I toss our coin Only comes up one way But I keep tossing In rage and fascination Rage and fascination Rage and fascination As I watch you When you're cruel, that's not what keeps me here I'm not on a torch-song bender You're too bitchy for my notions of a man And your arms are far too slender It's just my admiration We do things very well It takes a lot of know-how Making such a stylish hell All that disdain spiked with mutual acclaim As we perfect our game In rage and fascination Rage and fascination Rage and fascination As I watch you You can make me feel like nothing with a gesture It's like self-applause when you tug at your tie I rifle all your pockets for forgotten change When you're asleep If you notice, then I lie Come into my parlor Said the spider to the fly It's a whole new way to die In rage and fascination Rage and fascination Rage and fascination As I watch you
