Terms of My Surrender

1 views

Lyrics

When the moon is rising and the night is still
 Some of my delusions have the power to kill
 Scared I'll get what I deserve
 Or maybe scared I won't
 ♪
 I'm sitting in my garage staring at my motorcycle
 My heart is so heavy, like a stack of Bibles
 Swear I need you too much
 Baby, I swear I don't
 ♪
 'Cause sometimes love can be so wrong
 Like a fat man in a thong
 It was shamelessly awake
 I hold a seashell to my ear
 And winds of echoed dreams I hear
 Reverberations of yesterday
 I can be rough
 Sometimes I can be tender
 But I can't negotiate
 The terms of my surrender
 I love you too much, babe
 Go on and have your way with me
 ♪
 Well, emperors and reigning kings
 Have showered you with golden rings
 Now I stand with my hat in my hand
 I know that I can't compete
 With ruthless men and satin sheets
 But I'm ready to meet your demands
 Words of glory, and ashes and dust
 At the end of the story there's just us
 I love you too much, baby
 To ever say goodbye
