Ties That Bind

Pat Benatar · Gravity's Rainbow [1993]

Anger shakes the house of cards

Loving cup upon the bars

We bend the truth to help us thru the night

Temper thrown against the wall

Shatters like an empty glass

Nothin can save us from our own selves tonight



Chorus:

Anger is a mighty sword

Vengence is our own reward

Love goes blind one eye at a time

Gunne cut away from the ties that bind

Hey hey



There's an edge within my voice

Helps me win when I should lose

We pick and choose our weapons carefully

Words are twisted like a fist

Behind our backs no slight-of-hand

No battle ever ended with a kiss



Chorus



Anger shakes the house of cards

Loving cup upon the bars

We bend the truth to help us thru the night



Chorus
