Sting - Saint Augustine in Hell текст песни

If somebody up there likes me

Somebody up there cares

Deliver me from evil

Save me from these wicked snares

Not into temptation, not to cliffs of fall

On to revelation, and lesson for us all

She walked into the room

On the arm of my best friend

I knew whatever happened

Our friendship would end

Chemical reaction, desire at first sight

Mystical attraction, turned out all my lights

The minute I saw her face

The second I caught her eye

The minute I touched the flame

I knew it would never die

The minute I saw her face

The second I caught her eye

The minute I touched the flame

I knew it would never die

I dont know if its pain

Or pleasure that I seek

My flesh was all too willing

My spirit guide was weak

I was deadly certain

His thoughts for me werent kind

A switchblade in his pocket

Murder on his mind

Blessed st. theresa the whore of babylon

Madonna and my mother all rolled into one

Youve got to understand me

Im not a piece of wood

Francis of assisi

Could never be this good

[the less I need the more I get

Make me chaste but not just yet

Its a promise or a lie

Ill repent before I die]

The minute I saw her face

The second I caught her eye

The minute I touched the flame

I knew it would never die

The minute I saw her face

The second I caught her eye

The minute I touched the flame

I knew it would never die

[spoken] relax, have a cigar, make yourself at home.

Hell is full of high court judges, failed saints.

Weve got cardinals, archbishops, barristers,

Certified accountants, music critics,

Theyre all here. youre not alone

Youre never alone, not here youre not.

Ok breaks over...

[the less I need the more I get

Make me chaste but not just yet

Its a promise or a lie

Ill repent before I die]

The minute I saw her face

The second I caught her eye

The minute I touched the flame

I knew it would never die

The minute I saw her face

The second I caught her eye

The minute I touched the flame

I knew it would never die
