You used to be on fire now you chill me to the bone   We used to fly like angels now we're sinking like a stone   You say you're trying to help me but that ain't the way it feels   I think you're trying to kill me with those stiletto heels      Paint the town black babe and let that pendulum swing   I been stabbed in the back babe   And if you don't love me, I'll never feel a thing      And oh, one thing I know   There's only one place left for me to go      Going back to the kingdom of desire   Going down to the valley of the gun   I'm gonna stand too close to the fire   I'm gonna fly too close to the sun      They say the king of love sleeps on a velvet bed   My sheets feel like sandpaper   And my pillow feels like lead   But as sure as Atlantis sank into the sea   I'm sinking like a stone babe that's how it's got to be      Paint the town black babe and let that pendulum swing   I been stabbed in the back babe   And if you don't love me I'll never feel a thing      And oh, if I don't have you   There's only one thing left for me to do      Going back to the kingdom of desire   Going down to the valley of the gun   I'm gonna stand too close to the fire   I'm gonna fly too close to the sun      [Instrumental break]      When you dig up God's little acre you lose all peace of mind   You stare into the distance looking for a sign   But that sign it never comes babe   Your wishes won't come true   You keep praying for the rain while the sun beats down on you      And oh, one thing I know   There's only one place left for me to go         Going back to the kingdom of desire   Going down to the valley of the gun   I'm gonna stand too close to the fire   I'm gonna fly too close to the sun   [repeats 2x]      I'm gonna fly too close to the sun, yeah   I'm gonna fly too close to the sun
