Out Of The Blue (Into The Fire)

Lyrics

I'm a man without a soul... Honey, yeah
 I lost it while parading it in a town full of thieves
 Y'see I didn't wanna be with any people I know
 But God knows I didn't wanna be alone
 I thought if I acted like someone else
 I'd feel more comfortable with myself
 So I showered down, left my little room
 Jumped in my car for protection from hostility
 Well it ain't easy to be bold in an unknown city
 Yeah, I was feeling strong-mouthed and weak-willed
 When I ran into the cure for my ills
 Don't tell me what your name is
 I want your body, not your mind
 I want a feeling worth paying for before I say goodbye
 But as I was talking, I couldn't look her in the eyes
 I just kept wondering:
 How many men unleashed their frustration between her thighs?
 There'll be no sleep 'til the morning
 There'll be no lullabies
 'Cause the devil borrowed my clothes just for tonight
 Well my adrenaline was curdling like cream as I was being led by the hand
 Through the sound of sirens and the distant noise of some drunken jazz band
 Through the stench of disinfectant that infected my head
 Through the darkness of a corridor and into a stranger's bed
 Well I didn't wanna hurt your feelings, honey
 But I couldn't suppress my own
 I had to pull myself outta this nosedive by proving something to myself
 She was lying on her back with her lips parted
 Squealing like a stuffed pig
 I was going through the motions, faking the emotions
 And wriggling around like a lizard in a tin
 Trying so hard to cleanse myself
 I was turning into somebody else
 I was trying so hard to please myself
 I was turning into somebody else
 I was trying so hard to be myself
 I was turning into somebody else
 I was trying so hard to be myself
 I was turning into somebody else
 I was trying so hard to be myself
 I was turning into somebody else
 Come, my love, with your desire
 Out of the blue... and into the fire!
