I see that look in your eyes, babe, I can't deny its pull
Yeah, you hypnotize me - break through my disguise so dull
I wanna be with you, don't wanna be so afraid of this
Don't wanna take it slow, grab passion by the throat
Need to know your touch
Oh, shhhhh
Yeah, you're my wild desire
We're gonna set this house on fire
Turn all the angels into liars
Can we be happy there? (yeah)
There's thieves in the temple stare me in the face
Shadows tremble, thunder takes their place
Desire can make you wicked it can make you great
In Tahiti
What a vicious game you play
Tahiti
Nothin's black and white when you're in a fight like this
Don't know what's wrong or right, I just need to taste your lips
I'll sing a Siren's Song to steal just one Black Kiss
I wanna breathe you in, and wash away this sin,
The one who brings the pain's the one who makes it end, yeah
Yeah, you're my wild desire
We're gonna set this house on fire
Turn all the angels into liars
And we'll be happy there, yeah
There's thieves in the temple stare me in the face
Shadows tremble, thunder takes their place
Desire can make you wicked it can make you great
In Tahiti
All the angels fall at our feet
Every time we walk down the street
Ooh, yeah
There's thieves in the temple stare me in the face
Shadows tremble, thunder takes their place
Desire can make you wicked it can make you great
What a vicious game you play
There's thieves in the temple stare me in the face
Shadows tremble, thunder takes their place
Desire can make you wicked it can make you great
In Tahiti
What a vicious game you play
How could you leave me here this way?
