When the soul of the city
Was laid to rest
And the nights forgotten and left for dead
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
I happened on a house
Built of living light
Where everything evil disappears and dies
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
When they love you, and they will
Tell 'em all they'll love in my shadow
And if they try to slow you down
Tell 'em all to go to hell
When they love you, and they will
Tell 'em all they'll love in my shadow
And if they try to slow you down
Tell 'em all to go to hell
I settled in slowly, to this house that you call home
To blood and breath, fear, flesh and bone
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Blush of our bodies in the heat of the night
All day the day after, reddened the skies
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
When they love you, and they will
Tell em all they'll love in my shadow
And if they try to slow you down
Tell em all to go to hell
When they love you, and they will
Tell 'em all they'll love in my shadow
And if they try to slow you down
Tell 'em all to go to hell
It's a lifeless life, with no fixed address to give
But you're not mine to die for anymore
So I must live
Born of a bottle, from heaven's hand
And now you know and here I am
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
When they love Me and they will
Tell 'em all they'll love in your shadow
And if they try to slow me down
Tell 'em all to go to hell
When they love you, and they will
Tell 'em all they'll love in my shadow
And if they try to slow you down
Tell 'em all to go to hell
Go to hell
