Lyrics Pleasure And Pain - Joey Tempest

Pleasure And Pain

I hate it when you wonder… so sensual and free
And I hate it when you’re psychic… With the things I cannot see
I hate it when you lead on… Like you know which way to go
And I hate it when you stumble… And you never touch the floor
A pathological liar… I am fallin' again
With a flood of desire… I walk the line
Between pleasure and pain
I hate it when you’re lyin'… So close to me at night
And I hate it when you whisper… Sweet words into my mouth
Yeah the woman be the reason… A woman be the light
A woman be the color… If faith would be my sight
I’m a man of contradiction… With a heart so restrained
So afraid of commitment… I walk the line
Between pleasure and pain
It may take one lifetime… Or it may take one day
For me to find the courage… Not to walk away
If this is all that matters… If this is all we know
If enlightment is our journey… It will never, ever let us go…
(Never let us go)
I hate it when you want me… Passion in your eyes
I struggle and I reason… «This couldn’t possibly be right.»
And I fight you with honor… And I fight you with fear
So afraid of what I would find out… If I were to let your heart come near
I believe in redemption… For a fool’s domain
And I ask for forgiveness… I walk the line
Between pleasure and pain…
Between pleasure and pain…
I walk the line…
Between pleasure and pain…
