Lyrics

Here my child

Rest your head on me.

Cos I'm the safest man you'll ever meet.

I'll tell you a story

I won't expect you to believe

About a boy who lost his reason to deceive

It's the death of my desire

While I grew up I hid behind a smile.

I was never allowed to be an average child.

And now the years have forced

me to be a man. I find I can't go

Along with this meaningless sham.

It's the death of my desire.

I want to find a new way

But I can't make it on my own,

I want a partner in crime

So I don't feel so alone.

So come to bed,

I won't disturb your sleep.

Cos I've a secret I'm determined not to keep

I see you understand my point of view,

You're safe because there's nothing I

need from you.

It's the death of my desire.
