Lyrics

[Verse 1] I can see the turning of the key I've been deceived by the clown inside of me I thought that he was righteous but he's vain Something's telling me I wear the ball and chain [Verse 2] My patron saint is fighting with a ghost He's always off somewhere when I need him most The Spanish moon is rising on the hill But my heart is telling me I love you still [Verse 3] I come back from the town of the flaming moon I see you in the street, I begin to swoon I love to see you dress before the mirror Won't you let me in your room one timе before I disappear? [Verse 4] Evеrybody's wearing a disguise Just to hide what they've got left behind their eyes But me, I cannot cover who I am Wherever children go, I'll follow them [Verse 5] I can't play the game no more, I can't abide By their stupid rules which kept me sick inside Treasures made by men who've given up the search Whose gods are dead and whose queens are in the church [Verse 6] And I march in the parade of liberty But as long as I love you, I'm not free How long must I suffer such abuse? Won't you let me in your room one time before I cut you loose? [Verse 7] So now I go see John the Evangelist All my friends are drunk, they can be dismissed My mind says that it's time to make a change But my heart keeps telling me I love ya but you're strange [Verse 8] So step lightly, darling, near the wall Go put on your hair and makeup, wear your shawl Won't you get up off that throne on which you sit? Won't you let me feel your love one time before I abandon it
