Fanatic Heart

I remember your eyes from the 12th of July
 When the sirens were screamin' and the flames lit the sky
 And you held me so tight, thought you'd never let go
 'Til the bullets exploded on the pavement below
 Then I laid you down next to a burnt out car
 Screamed out for help but you were gone too far
 Still got that picture of you locked away from the start
 Developing inside my fanatic heart
 I went around in a daze for a couple of years
 With the blood in my veins frozen over with tears
 And I did anything that they asked me to do
 'Cause all I could see was that picture of you
 And the young ones passin' by'd say, "How's about you, real hard man"
 Deep down inside I was just a castle of sand
 Still got that picture of you locked away from the start
 Developing inside my fanatic heart
 Then they took me inside, threw me up against a wall
 They put electric prods on my chest and my balls
 And they told me to sign things that I knew weren't true
 And in the end I did what they told me to do
 Then they locked me up and threw away the key
 Left me there with just your memory
 Now I walk through New York like a gray silhouette
 Tryin' hard to remember what I'm supposed to forget
 That look in your eyes on the 12th of July
 When the sirens were screamin' and the flames lit the sky
 Hey, I sleep with other women and I hold them through the night
 'Cause all I want to do is just get on with my life
 But that picture of you won't let me make a new start
 It's frozen inside my fanatic heart
