Lyrics

Come into my World

I'm a face in the crowd
Some forgotten stranger's wife
I'm a memory that haunts you
All of your life

I'm a one-night stand
Just a toss between the covers
But I could be someone's
Life-long lover

I am the eyes of a tired bus rider
Coming home from his all-night shift
I am the smile of a bus-stop dreamer
Head in the clouds, his mind all adrift

I'm an unpaid bill
And I'm someone's Visa card
I'm an easy question
Or one that's too hard

I turn down your collar
Help you pick out your tie
But some say that I'm messy
That I don't have the eye

I'm your wet dream, get you off in a minute
But I could be Dante's Beatrice
I'll guide you safely through the fires of hell
Or lure you over a precipice

I'm a dirty deed
In the dark of night
I'm a sweet young thing
In the morning light

I can be your pain
I can be your morphine
I can play it cool
Or be a drama queen

I'm your global warming
I'm your new ice age
I can leave you as you are
Or help you turn the page

I'm a barren wasteland
A place with no maps
I'm someone's first love
Yours perhaps

Yes you,
You who've lost your faith in miracles
And crusaders with banners unfurled
Well, if you can't be a saint be a gambler
Come on, take a chance
Come into my world
If you can't be a saint be a gambler
Come on, take a chance
Come into my world
Come on, take a chance
Come into my world
