Woman Of Flesh And Blood

(album: Every Five Seconds - 2022)

Woman of flesh and blood I want to look at you
Woman of the world I want to talk to you
Woman of flesh and blood I want to touch you
Woman of the world I want to be with you

Turned the wheel the wrong way waiting for the countdown
Looking for a place to stay all innocence
Don't know why I felt I was on the run
Found a room opened the book
Turned the page and saw your face
A face in a garden electrified
I swear I saw you move

Run from the danger escape from the cage
Where's my guardian angel when I need to be saved
Run like a leopard across the windscreen
Fly like a zombie feeding the machine
With a hey and a why I'm going home
To my palace on the corner with the Turkish dome
I'm the king of nowhere slave of my destiny

Woman of flesh and blood I want to look at you
Woman of the world I want to talk to you
Woman of flesh and blood I want to touch you
Woman of the world I want to be with you

Turned the wheel the wrong way
Watching the magic bullets flying by
All innocence 'til one hit me right between my eyes
Then I saw the daylight shining from your face killing my pain
Joined the circus it was time to go insane

Lost bets I'd wager my mark is made
This peeping Tom's a blind man and he's feeling his age
A master of the dark arts fanning the obscure
When passion meets aggression it's no longer pure
Has-beens and wannabes just flash on the screen
There's no will, just a why, another zealot on fire
Another king of nowhere begging an eye for an eye
I'm just another king of nowhere I'm a slave to my destiny

Woman of flesh and blood I want to look at you
Woman of the world I want to talk to you
Woman of flesh and blood I want to touch you
Woman of the world I want to be with you
