Lyrics

[Verse 1] If somebody up there likes me If somebody up there cares Deliver me from evil Save me from these wicked snares Not into temptation Not to cliffs to fall On to revelation Lessons for us all She walks into the room On the arm of my best friend I knew whatever happened Our friendship would end A chemical reaction Desire at first sight Mystical attraction Turned out all my lights [Chorus] The minute I saw her face The second I caught her eye The minute I touched the flame I knew it would never die The minute I saw her face The second I caught her eye The minute I touched the flame I knew it would never die [Verse 2] I don't know if it's pain Or pleasure that I seek My flesh was all too willing My spirit guide was weak I was deadly certain These thoughts for me weren't kind A switchblade in his pocket Murder on his mind Blessed St. Theresa The whore of Babylon Madonna and my mother All rolled into one You've got to understand me I'm not a piece of wood Francis of Assisi Could never be this good [Chorus] The minute I saw her face The second I caught her eye (The less I need the more I get) The minute I touched the flame I knew it would never die (Make me chaste but not just yet) The minute I saw her face The second I caught her eye (It's a promise or a lie) The minute I touched the flame I knew it would never die (I'll repent before I die) [Bridge] Relax, have a cigar, make yourself at home. Hell is full of high court Judges, failed saints. We've got Cardinals, Archbishops, barristers Certified accountants, music critics, they're all here. You're not alone You're never alone, not here you're not. OK break's over [Interlude] [Chorus] The minute I saw her face The second I caught her eye (The less I need the more I get) The minute I touched the flame I knew it would never die (Make me chaste but not just yet) The minute I saw her face The second I caught her eye (It's a promise or a lie) The minute I touched the flame I knew it would never die (I'll repent before I die)
