When  the soul of the city
 Was laid to rest
 And the nights forgotten
 And left for dead
Oh,  oh, oh, oh,  oh oh oh, oh (x2)
 I happened on a house
 Built of living light
 Where everything evil
 Disappears and dies
 Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh oh oh, oh (x2)
When  they love you, and they will
Tell  'em all  they'll love  in my shadow
And  if they try to slow you down
Tell  'em all  to go to hell
 I settled in slowly
 To this house that you call home
 To blood and breath
 Fear, flesh and bone
 Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh oh oh, oh (x2)
 Rush of our bodies
 In the heat of the night
 All day the day after
 Red in the skies
 Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh oh oh, oh (x2)
 When they love you, and they will
 Tell 'em all they'll love in my shadow
 And if they try to slow you down
 Tell 'em all to go to hell
 It's a lifeless life
 With no fixed address to give
 But you're not mine to die for anymore
 So I must live
 Born of a bottle
 From heaven's hand
 And now you know
 And here I am
 Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh oh oh, oh (x2)
 When they love you, and they will
 Tell 'em all they'll love in my shadow
 And if they try to slow you down
 Tell 'em all to go to hell
 When they love me, and they will
 I'll tell 'em all they'll love in your shadow
 And if they try to slow me down
 I'll tell 'em all to go to hell
