I poked a pistol in the eye
Lit up a powder keg
and rode it to the sky
Yeah, the Reaper even calls me for his alibi
I sang Cerberus to sleep
with a rock 'n' roll lullaby
I made a congregation weep
Never packed a parachute to Lover's Leap
Yeah I been dancin' with the Devil,
baby, cheek to cheek
Thought I was strong until you came
and made me weak
Now I don't need another thrill
Just hold my hand and I can stand to stand still
Hear me screamin'
Baby, I want you!
Baby, I need you!
And honey, I don't need another thrill
So to a queen I've never bowed
Never been a pawn or a fool
I was way too proud
Give me a lightning rod and
I can stab a thundercloud
But now, for you, I can't stop cryin' out loud
Now I don't need another thrill
Just hold my hand and I can stand to stand still
Hear me screamin'
Baby, I want you!
Baby, I need you!
And honey, I don't need another thrill
All of my words have failed me
My tongue and my heart
have conspired to jail me
Never thought I'd need someone to save me
Now I'll be free as soon as you enslave me
Now I don't need another thrill
Just hold my hand and I can stand to stand still
Hear me screamin'
Baby, I want you!
Baby, I need you!
And honey, I don't need another thrill
