Thirty thousand years ago give or take a few
the sun came round and left again women did too
sure as ages came to pass desire spawned a child
now I can dial a telephone but my heart is still wild

I want her, I want her, I want her, I want her she's mine
Blessed are the ties that bind

Blood is in the air tonight a drunken lust for fame
how many of my accidents turn out to be my fate
we wander through the monuments that claim that we are tame
while beasts walk other animals on leashes made of chains

I want her, I want her, I want her, I want her she's mine
Blessed are the ties that bind

A crowd will fill the marble square waitin to be told
no one dares to question all the values that they hold
they're wearin dark shades at night to hide the lions eyes
they cover up the truth with smiles intentions are disguised

I want her, I want her, I want her, I want her she's mine
Blessed are the ties that bind
