Rare and precious chain   Do I have to tell you, tell you once again?   Under red lights, on soft nights   It all comes back to you      Rare and precious chain   Binds me to your soul 'round gently pulsing veins   Shackled tight, feel love's bite   Coming back to you      No gold of fools   No hostage taking   No engagement rules   To leave you forsaken      Tiny beads of sweat   Thin diamond glistening, glistening around your neck   Forgotten rooms, dark catacombs   They all come back to you      No crock of glittering prizes   No sharply worded telegram   No excuses for the word-weary   No excuses for who I am      It's a rare and precious chain   Around your neck I place it, place it once again   Drawn finger tight, feel love's bite   Coming back to you      Under red lights, on soft nights   It all comes back to you   Rare and precious chain
