This Providence
"Secret Love And The Fastest Way To Loneliness"
Puts on a pretty dress and wears it all over town
All over town
Says "I can give what you want
Escape from the pain
My bed's already made"
Well, I was searching for something but didn't know what
And I found a whore on the corner of the street
She wrapped her arms around me and she kissed me on the mouth
She said "there's more where that came from
Whoa baby, there's more"
Like a lamb to the slaughter I followed her home
Into bed with a stranger
No one has to know
No one has to know
Puts on a pretty dress and wears it all over town,
All over town
Says "I can give what you want
Escape from the pain
And nobody has to know"
Stay away, stay away
She wants your soul
She'll take your life
Stay away, stay away
It's all secret love
And the fastest way to loneliness
I can't get enough
But my soul is rotting
What have I become?
I can hear their screams so clearly now
With a shake of my face I awoke and saw my fate
All alone in the darkness
Chained to the devil's gate
Puts on a pretty dress and wears it all over town,
All over town
Says "I can give what you want
Escape from the pain
And nobody has to know"
Stay away, stay away
She wants your soul
She'll take your life
Stay away, stay away
It's all secret love
And the fastest way to loneliness
I hear the beautiful voice of wisdom
Joined by the angels, she sings
Well her words are sweet like honey
And sour to my stomach
She says, "Get on your feet
Come dine with me in heavenly places
Where you can hear the angels sing"
Puts on a pretty dress and wears it all over town
All over town
Says "I can give what you want
Escape from the pain
And nobody has to know"
Stay away, stay away
She wants your soul
She'll take your life
Stay away, stay away
It's all secret love
And a slippery road to hell
