Lyrics

You who were born with the sun above your shoulders
You turn me on you turn me on
You have to know
You who were born where the sun she keeps her distance
You turn me on you turn me on
But so does she

You who were born there where beauty is existence
You turn me on you turn me
Your body heals my soul

You who were born where you shiver and you shudder
You turn me on the girl is gone so come on
Let's go

All the pearls of china
Fade astride a volta
Don't sew beelines to anybody's hide
Save your poison for a lover who is on your side

One way is rome and the other way is mecca
On either side on either side
Of our motorbike
One way is home and the other way is proper
On either side on either side and
Prepared to strike

When I get back I will dream in barnes and nobles
Don't leave me here
Don't leave me where angels fear to tread
When I get back I will bleed after my beating
Don't leave me here don't leave me here
I'm scared to death

All the pearls of china
Fade astride a volta
Don't sew beelines to anybody's hide
Save your poison for a lover who is on your side

All the pearls of china
Fade astride a volta
Don't sew beelines to anybody's hide
Save your poison for a lover who is on your side
