Tied by the moon
Tied by your chain
Wishing it was you
Who would feel this pain
Pain, caused by your love
You changed my life
You changed the scene
You changed everything
First the colours and then me
Pain, caused by your love
For you I’d face the fire
For you I’d crawl the flames
For you I will deny
I ever felt such pain
Pain, caused by your love

To them it’s your sword that is rusty and old
To me it’s only the velvet that is cold
To you there’s just an appetite for war
So you did not see me running for the door
Watch me now
No kind words will keep you in control
From day one you’ve been heading for a fall
Your ideas keep you up all through the night
It doesn’t make my bleeding heart alright
Watch me now
I’ll be Hollywood Poison
And you will be in your corner crying
I’ll be Hollywood Poison
And you are still in your corner crying

I reply to your smile
I was lost for a while
Like a child in the night
Afraid of that light
I’m trying hard to fight
To keep you from leaving
And I tried to walk on by but I had to leave you
You were longing for something; I got nothing to teach you
Except my memories of flesh against the scorn
And now the clouds roll on and on and our kissing makes me heading for a fall
There’s hazard up there
And it just isn’t fair
Like the folks from the hills
(Denied for their skills)
I’m trying hard to chill
But your face - it remains
And I try to walk on by but I had to reach you
You were longing for something; I got nothing to teach you
Except my memories of flesh against the scorn
And now the clouds roll on and on and our kissing makes me heading for a fall
And I try to walk on by but I had to reach you
You were longing for something; I got nothing
Except my memories of flesh against the scorn
And now the clouds roll on and on and our kissing makes me heading for a fall
