[00:30.00]Tell me now and
[00:31.80]I'll understand
[00:34.20]Does Venus hold you in the palm of her hand
[00:38.73]Has her blackness touched your very heart
[00:43.08]She'll smile sweetly as your world falls apart *
[00:46.77]And I just can't quit it babe
[00:50.76]I just can't stand the pain
[00:55.17]And I just can't quit it babe
[00:59.43]I keep running back again
[01:10.26]Little by little piece by piece
[01:10.89]Your defenses have all slipped away
[01:16.86]And real beauty's such an elusive thing
[01:19.02]Somewhere down the line you'll have to pay
[01:22.02]Repeat * Oh no, its such a cold, cold feeling
[01:31.77]Cuts your body to the bone
[01:37.17]Oh no, its a strange, strange feeling
[01:54.12]Loves been abandoned and
[01:56.97]I'm so alone
[01:59.94]And everyday
[02:00.78]I see my flame growing dimmer
[02:03.99]I've nothing left but this very life to save
[02:06.84]And evry night
[02:10.44]I feel that
[02:11.13]I'm a winner
[02:12.57]She's taking me down to the grave
[02:13.41]And everyday
[02:13.74]I see my flame growing dimmer
[02:14.34]I can't seem to chase the ghosts away
[02:15.12]And every night
[02:15.57]I get too high,
[02:15.93]I'm a winner
[02:16.47]I've nothing left but to pray
[02:17.22]And every night she makes me feel like a winner
[02:37.26]And every night she makes me think
[02:55.56]I'm a winner
[03:05.52]Venus smiles and encircles me
[03:09.78]And wraps me in a soft princely gown
[03:14.07]Waves of darkness rise like the sea
[03:19.26]In her addiction
[03:20.67]I will drown
