A Pillar of Stone Lyrics & Tabs by The Floating Men
A Pillar of Stone
guitar chords lyrics
No, leave all of the lights on
I want to stare you in the eye
What kind of demons inside make you so hard to satisfy?
Hell, I dread every sundown
You're so evil when you're high
You want to close down the town and stay up making love all night
I've been a pillar of stone too long and I'm tired of being tempted and taunted
If that's the only way of turning you on I'm gonna die of what I thought I wanted
I tried to build a home for you, Delila
But sweat, muscle and bone alone is all you're looking for
I've been a pillar of stone
But I can't be that strong
I can't be that strong anymore
I can't keep up with the club life
And the party's wearing thin
I can't be that strong anymore
I can't keep up with the club life
And the party's wearing thin
I keep waiting for the mating to end and the love to begin
And what's the deal with the fast lane?
Does the danger turn you on?
Are you recalling the gaze of a stranger when we're all alone?
I've been a pillar of stone too long; aren't you tired of being painted and flaunted?
If that's the only way of turning you on, I was wrong all along, I don't want it
I tried to build a home for you, Delila
But sweat, muscle and bone alone is all you're looking for
I've been a pillar of stone
But I can't be that strong
I can't be that strong anymore
Ah, to Hell with the fast lane
Ah, to Hell with dying young
Ah, to Hell with the sunken-eyed punk you've been trying to become
Ah, to Hell with the club life
I don't care what turns you on
If you go back to the jungle tonight you can go alone
I've been a pillar of stone so long I've gone deaf from the wails of the haunted
If that's the only way of turning you on, from now on I don't want to be wanted
I tried to build a home for you, Delila
But sweat, muscle and bone alone is all you're looking for
I've been a pillar of stone
But I can't be that strong
I can't be that strong anymore
