handome ads, and cool seduction.
 Everything is impossible and everything's so easy,
 Invasion of invented needs,
 between the carrot and the stick.
 They fix you with their beastly eyes and smile

 and if they darken your sweet soul,
 and if they ever let you go.

 Is your love, is it, strong enough, is it
 like a feast, is it, sweet or wild, is it,
 All of these things:...?
 You could be forgiven

 Into anchor-tattooed arms
 go sad-eyed dreamers bound for elsewhere
 Lovers cling like the Pieta in style
 Myth and sham, believe, believe
 your tears will end,
 you've got to feel this love
 please...

 and if they darken your sweet soul,
 and if they ever let you go.

 Is your love, is it, strong enough, is it
 like a feast, is it, sweet or wild, is it,
 All of these things:...?
 You could be forgiven
