Adam Ant/Marco Pirroni/Boz Boorer

I want your heart

I want your soul

I want everything you hold dear

I want the sinews that bind you together

I know enough is never enough

I want the broad road and 20/20 vision

Your wrist a keyboard of perfume

Money cannot buy

And I'm in a position to say

The camera does not lie

There's a lot of vampires out there

Hanging out to grab your soul

They don't live in Transylvania

They don't live in rock 'n' roll

I want your bones

I want your blood

I want everything you hold dear

I want the sinews that bind you together

I made an educated guess

There's a panic in the lingerie

You know I tremble at each touch

Close my eyes and sigh



Then fly off like a bullet

For the darkside of the sky

I want you pain

I want your pleasure

I want everything you hold dear

I want the sinews that bind you together

I know enough is never enough

Hatcheck to showgirl

Let's to bed madam

I know there's no way out but through together

Wet with sex

Wet with sweat

Embody your body

There's a lot of vampires out there

Hanging out to grab your soul

They don't live in Transylvania

They don't live in rock 'n' roll

Rock 'n' roll
