Someone's Got A Hold Of My Heart

They say, "Eat, drink and be merry, take the bull by the horns" I keep seeing visions of you, a lily among thorns Everything looks a little far away to me Gettin' harder and harder to recognize the trap Too much information about nothin', too much educated rap Just like you told me, it's just like you said it would be Well, the moon's going up like wildfire I feel the breath of a storm There's something I got to do tonight You go inside and stay warm Someone's got a hold of my heart Someone's got a hold of my heart Someone's got a hold of my heart You, you, you, you, you got a hold of my heart Just got back from a city, city of red skies Everybody thinks with their stomach and there's plenty of spies Every street is crooked, they just wind around until they disappear Madame Butterfly, she lulls me to sleep Like an ancient river, so wide and so deep She said, "Be easy, baby, ain't nothin' worth stealin' here" You're the one I've been waitin' for You're the one that I desire But you must realize first I'm not another man you can hire Someone's got a hold of my heart Someone's got a hold of my heart Someone's got a hold of my heart You, you, you, you, you got a hold of my heart I hear that hot blooded singer on the bandstand croon, 'Poisoned love' Red roses for a blue lady in Memphis in June While they're beating the devil out of A guy who's wearing a clouded blue wig I've been to Babylon and I got to confess I can still hear that voice crying in the wilderness What looks large from a distance, close up is never that big Never could learn to drink that blood and call it wine Never could learn to look at your face and call it mine Someone's got a hold of my heart Someone's got a hold of my heart Someone's got a hold of my heart You, you, you, you, you got a hold of my heart, oh yeah
