  18549>Lying in her own asylum
  Love has her in an endless coma
  Tear marked pillows
  Broken china
  Things they say that love is made of
 
 
  Wet and strewn
  She lies sedated
  Wrenched with arms and legs akimbo
  Locked up in her own asylum
  Locked up in love's endless limbo
 
 
  The flesh is willing but the spirit is weak
  The flesh is willing but the spirit is weak
 
 
  Locked up in her own asylum
  Feeling so ashamed and crazy
  Lets the other inmates touch her
  Touch intimate places on her
  Love has her in a sea of vitriol
 
 
  Tear marked pillows
  Broken china
  Things they say that love is made of
 
 
  The flesh is willing but the spirit is weak
  The flesh is willing but the spirit is weak
 
 
  Swollen tongued and swimming eyes
  Smiles but never ever smiles
  Can't sleep at night for endless wailing
  Weeping, wailing, howling
  Love's shuddering howl
  Love's shuddering howl
 
 
  The flesh is willing but the spirit is weak
  The flesh is willing but the spirit is weak
 
 
  If she can hoodwink the doctor
  She'll get out for good behaviour
  She'll get out for good
  Locked up in her own asylum
  Love has her on her knees
  Locked up in her own asylum
  Love has her on her knees
 
 
  The flesh is willing but the spirit is weak
  The flesh is willing but the spirit is weak
 
 
  Skin and bone
  Hot and cold
  Brazen brave
  Brain and brawn
  Push 'n' shove
  Slick 'n' slow
  Broken home
  Love and you
  You and me
  Soft and sound
  Smile and cry
  Touch and go
  Sad and slow
  Break and bold
  Wild and wound
  Sleep and sound
  Have and hold
  Have and hold
  Have and hold
