When the soul of the city was laid to rest
And the nights forgotten and left for dead
Ooooh
Ooooh

I happened on a house built of living light
Where everything evil disappears and dies
Ooooh
Ooooh

When they love you, and they will
Tell 'em all they're loving 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're loving 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
Ooooh
Ooooh

Blush of our bodies in the heat of the night
All day the day after, reddened the skies
Ooooh
Ooooh
When they love you, and they will
Tell 'em all they're loving 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're loving 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
Ooooh
Ooooh

Born of a bottle, from heaven's hand
And now you know and here I am
Here I am
Ooooh

When they love you, and they will
Tell 'em all they're loving my shadow
And if they try to slow you down
Tell 'em all to go to hell

When they love me, and they will
Tell 'em all they're loving your shadow
And if they try to slow me down
I'll tell 'em all to go to hell
