Playing on your inhibitions, sorrow catches on
Racing through this deadly daydream
Restful now, sorrow's catching on
Sorrow's catching on

A woman's quarters smell so sweet but sorrow catches on
I dream a dream of freedom fading, sorrow catches on
Something tells me I'll be leaving
Fear decides, sorrow takes the day
Fear always gets his way

I've been a thousand people
Always keep my back against the wall
I'll be a thousand more and this will never change
I know what's happening
A cuddle here, a kind word there
Teeth sink easy into vein (into vein)
Pleasure fades and sorrow catches...on

And when I wake up in the morning I'm a fire in my bed
And until I fall asleep that night I'm dead to the world
Just like all the boys and girls out there
Waiting for their lover's voice to call
And I can almost hear her footsteps in the hall
But you know it's only sorrow (only sorrow)
After all

I try to find my kind of love but sorrow catches on
(Sorrow catches on)
Passion cools and caution rules when sorrow catches on
(Sorrow catches on)
Something tells me I'm the loser
I decline, remindful of my sins
And sorrow always wins

I've been a thousand people
Always keep my back against the wall
I'll be a thousand more and this will never change
I know what's happening
A cuddle here, a kind word there
Teeth sink easy into vein (into vein)
Pleasure fades and sorrow catches on

I've known a thousand people
Always keep my back against the wall
I'll know a thousand more and this will never change
I can see it happening
(I can see it happening)
This true love melting over me (over me)
Lips move gently so divine (so divine)
Right over mine
And sorrow whispers...come along
He's catching on
