| Its like a magic
|
| I’ve got to have it
|
| Whatever lies out of reach of me
|
| And to despise it
|
| Just magnifies it
|
| Can’t obliterate the need
|
| You’re bad news disguised
|
| Dressed and painted with lies
|
| But I just can’t see
|
| When truth is concealed
|
| How the danger appeals
|
| But my conscience sees
|
| I heard it from the preacher man
|
| He said leave that boy alone
|
| He’s no good for you
|
| I heard it from the preacher man
|
| He said heaven must have sent you
|
| But the devil’s gonna get you
|
| He’s gonna do it for you
|
| You’re like a black cat
|
| Who always knows that
|
| It’s life is a mystery
|
| You mesmerize me
|
| And then you hypnotize me
|
| 'Til obsession devours me
|
| You’re silky words soothe me
|
| As they move me
|
| To ecstasy
|
| And just as I’m falling
|
| I hear a voice calling
|
| Don’t believe
|
| I heard it from the preacher man
|
| He said leave that boy alone
|
| He’s no good for you
|
| I heard it from the preacher man
|
| He said heaven must have sent you
|
| But the devil’s gonna get you
|
| He’s gonna do it for you
|
| You’re bad news disguised
|
| Dressed and painted with lies
|
| But I just can’t see
|
| When truth is concealed
|
| How the danger appeals
|
| But my conscience sees
|
| I heard it from the preacher man
|
| He said leave that boy alone
|
| He’s no good for you
|
| I heard it from the preacher man
|
| He said heaven must have sent you
|
| But the devil’s gonna get you
|
| He’s gonna do it for you |
