Brasil - Elefant

I saw her standing there 
red fire in her hair 
she knows I can't resist 
the poison from her lips 

I never wanted it 
I tried to run from it 
temptation stares me down 

she sings when she is sad 
she laughs when she is mad 
the lonely heart club cry 
I hear them through the night 

I never wanted it 
I tried to run from it 
temptation wears me down 

heaven can wait 
heaven can wait for me now 
leave open the gate 
hell is the game I want now 
i'm coming down 

she leaves me wanting more 
white flowers on the shore 
she knows I can't resist 
the poison from her lips
