You wrap me in velvet with your smile
You cover me with roses and warm desire
Scented bubbles and candles aglow
Scented bubbles and candles aglow
Watch me float and watch me glow
You offer me gifts of precious things
Diamonds and pearls and golden rings
Bathed in oils from far away lands
My life; my love to you I hand

Secrets and lies
Secrets and lies
All this world is secrets and lies

Whispers in hallways
Talk in the night
Run
Run
Run from your plight

Drown in the satin
Die in the lace
Let the perfume smoother your face
Run to the edge of imprisoned desire
Jump from the top of the funeral pyre

Secrets and lies
Secrets and lies
All this world is secrets and lies

You wrap me in velvet with your smile
You cover me in roses and warm desire
Let the bubbles and candles lie
s you watch me sink and you watch me die
