[Verse 1]

The message you're about to hear is not meant for transmission

Should only be accessed in the privacy of your mind

Words are intense, so, my dear, if you dare to listen

Take off your clothes

And meet me between the lines


[Chorus]

Are you ready for the touch that makes you go insane?

Breast to lips to cheek to mane?

I'll pull your hair, you'll feel no pain

Are you ready for the only forever we'll both obtain?

The only joy in this forsaken game?

You'll feel ashamed and ordained

When I lay my hands on you


[Verse 2]

The touch you're about to feel is the one you've been wishin' for

It's been here like an echo inside your space and time

It's about to get freaky, 'cause the places that I'll be kissin'

Are the places that no other man could ever find

Oh, wind up ready for


[Chorus]

The touch that makes you go insane

Breast to lips to cheek to mane

I'll pull your hair, you'll feel no pain

Are you ready for the only forever we'll both obtain?

The only joy in this forsaken game? (God forbid)

You'll feel ashamed and ordained (God forbid)

When I lay my hands on you


[Bridge]

Nobody knows

Like God knows

Where the deepest part of your river flows

Snap, snap

Undo these nylon hose

Around your thigh, my finger goes slowly

Like a cat tip-toes

Until I reach the capstone

I will touch thee in the softest manner

Like "Europa" in the hands of Santana


[Chorus]

Are you ready for the touch that makes you go insane?

Breast to lips to cheek to mane?

I'll pull your hair, you'll feel no pain

Are you ready for the only forever we'll both obtain?

The only joy in this forsaken game?

You'll feel ashamed and ordained

When I lay my hands on you

When I lay my hands on you
