in a red room

show me what you brought me

silk and nothing more

let the light discover you

fall into the pillows

let me watch you play

sharing all your secrets

take my breath away

learn you like a blind man

taste you soft and deep

slow and gentle torture

pray the lord your soul to keep

take the night inside you

let the fires dance

planets spin their fortunes

lost inside our trance

in a red room

where love takes no prisoners

ancient ballets of shadow perform

here we lie in a sweet saturnalia

here we will ride out the storm

on and on passion plays surround us

toying with the histories of man

on and on

taboos will not confound us

naked in a jungle by gauguin

on and on passion plays surround us

toying with the histories of man

on and on taboos will not confound us

i will look at you and understand

in a red room

where love takes no prisoners

ancient ballets of shadow perform

here we lie in a sweet saturnalia

here we will ride out the storm

in a red room

where love takes no prisoners

we will drink from this cup til we die

out of body in sweet saturnalia

ever alive you and i
