[Intro] [clean electric guitar riff with light tremolo, steady drum beat enters] (Ooh, ooh-ooh) [Verse 1] [gritty male tenor vocals] Another empty glass Another dawn I chase This city hums a sad tune A smile wiped from my face Said I'd cut you off Swore I'd leave you be But your shadows stretch and dance Always follow me [Pre-Chorus] [Hammond B3 organ enters with sustained chords] A habit I can't break A poison in my veins Bringing sweet, sweet sorrow Washing out the rain [Chorus] [full band enters, increased intensity] My friends all warn me darlin' Say you'll be my end But this craving deep inside me It's my only friend I know I'm playing with fire Watching bridges burn For one more fleeting moment The lesson I won't learn [Vocal Break] [soaring falsetto vocalizations] (Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh) [Verse 2] [bass guitar becomes more melodic] I try to fight it, this hold you have on me But the truth is honey, I don't want to be free Beautiful destruction It feels like home somehow Trapped in your dark affection Here and now [Bridge] [organ swells, drums transition to driving rhythm] So let the record spin Let the liquor flow I'm a willing captive Watching my garden grow Into thorny vines and shadows Where the sun don't shine Just you and I entangled A love so divine [Outro] [distorted electric guitar solo begins] Just one more time, just one more taste (Ooh, ooh-ooh) [vocal ad-libs over fading guitar and organ] (One more time, yeah) [music slows and fades to a single organ chord]
