Babe, you turn me on

Stay by me, stay by me
You are the one, my only true love
The butcher bird makes it´s noise
And asks you to agree
With it´s brutal nesting habits
And it´s pointless savagery
Now, the nightingale sings to you
And raises up the ante
I put one hand on your round ripe heart
And the other down your panties
Everything is falling, dear
Everything is wrong
It´s just history repeating itself
And babe, you turn me on
Like a light bulb
Like a song
You race naked through the wilderness
You torment the birds and the bees
You leapt into the abyss, but find
It only goes up to your knees
I move stealthily from tree to tree
I shadow you for hours
I make like I´m a little deer
Grazing on the flowers
Everything is collapsing, dear
All moral sense has gone
It´s just history repeating itself
And babe, you turn me on
Like an idea
Like an Atom bomb
We stand awed inside a clearing
We do not make a sound
The crimson snow falls all about
Carpeting the ground
Everything is falling, dear
All rhyme and reason gone
It´s just history repeating itself
And, babe, you turn me on
Like an idea
Like an Atom bomb
You are the one, my only true love
The butcher bird makes it´s noise
And asks you to agree
With it´s brutal nesting habits
And it´s pointless savagery
Now, the nightingale sings to you
And raises up the ante
I put one hand on your round ripe heart
And the other down your panties
Everything is falling, dear
Everything is wrong
It´s just history repeating itself
And babe, you turn me on
Like a light bulb
Like a song
You race naked through the wilderness
You torment the birds and the bees
You leapt into the abyss, but find
It only goes up to your knees
I move stealthily from tree to tree
I shadow you for hours
I make like I´m a little deer
Grazing on the flowers
Everything is collapsing, dear
All moral sense has gone
It´s just history repeating itself
And babe, you turn me on
Like an idea
Like an Atom bomb
We stand awed inside a clearing
We do not make a sound
The crimson snow falls all about
Carpeting the ground
Everything is falling, dear
All rhyme and reason gone
It´s just history repeating itself
And, babe, you turn me on
Like an idea
Like an Atom bomb
