Analysis of The Stripper and the Madman
Melody pounds my ears
And my dead eyes follow your moves
The sway of your body brings me regret
Giving into temptation blindly I fall
Your cold embrace doesn't comfort as you catch me
It only damns me further
Clutching to you I smile and feel no tears
The last of me goes as I let you slip into me.
After all, faithfulness is overrated.
