Anam Cara Woman (red Velvet Devil)
She's got her fingers in my hair
Her tender touch in the alley stair
In hot pursuit the shadows shaking me loose
Oh, night after night
She slips like liquor
Runs right through my hands
Wrestling with the sheets
With her ghost in my bed
It's the price of the prodigy I tried to be
Head in the sky and the tongue in my cheek
I know the calls coming a year too late
But after a few these boys all taste the same
She's got me on my knees
(knee, knee, knees)
That woman, that woman, that woman's
Got her hold on me
(got her hold on me, me)
She's got me in a trance
She's got me in a dark dance
That woman, that woman, that woman's
Got me in her hands
She lacks all catholic guilt
But she does it so well
She's got me wounded in the snare
The shadows are playing me well
Oh, dancing in the heat
The heartbeat of your chest
A mouth the size the moon
Devouring a night's rest
In lonely company
Dreams of you here on the floor with me
The choices I've made since I moved to the city
Haven't made me wise
Haven't made me pretty
Kissing all the wrong men
I make, make, make amends
Just to do it all over again
She's got me on my knees
(knee, knee, knees)
That woman, that woman, that woman's
Got her hold on me
(got her hold on me, me)
She's got me in a trance
She's got me in a dark dance
That woman, that woman, that woman's
Got me in her hands
She, she
That woman, that woman, that woman's
Got her hold on me
3 am get you on the phone,
3 am oh where'd you really gotta go?
Where'd you really gotta go?
