There's a gallows in your eyes
Can I hang around a while?
Scratch that itch and burn and twitch
And dangle from your smile
'Cause when you dance like Salome
With my head upon your tray
You're a devil spawn in blue chiffon
A Satanic Doris Day
You get up close beside me
And I get a heart attack
The angels have all gone to find me
And they're never, never coming back
I'd hate to deceive her
I said I'd never leave her
I click the hammer on my .45
When she clicks the receiver
Loving you is so taboo
An emotional tattoo
Burnin', wailin', heads and tailin'
What am I gonna do?
'Cause loving you is so taboo
An emotional tattoo
Burnin', wailin', heart is a failin'
What am I gonna do?
