In A Red Room Lyrics

Show me what you brought me
Silk and nothing more
Let the light discover you
As the ribbons hit the floor
Fall into the pillows
Let me watch you play
Sharing all your secrets
Take my breath alway

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 play 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 play 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
Ever alive you and I
Ever alive you and I
