Sucker (A.H.Benthe)

She came up to the bar and said "what are you doing here'
i'd never seen her before in my life
She was alive , and i had nothing to live for
She really drove me right out of my hive
i guess you could say i was attracted to her kind

oh yeah but love wasn't enough we needed somewhere to live
so we got a hotel room and we soaked up some ghosts there
soon we was-a-jivin' the rent
our drinks had dried up and our memories spent
just then the land-lady started prying the door
so we jumped out the window and went bought some more
before too long we had so many empties that we
stuck 'em in the cupboard and barracaded the door
but the police were at the window now
so the only way out was to dig a big hole
and escape through the floor

'coz im an ever-lasting sucker for pleasure
an ever-lasting pushing, shoving sucker for pleasure
i tried to control it but i made myself sick
so now im back to tell the world how to make the idea stick
and stick with it

We had to dig so deep we bumped into old nick who at the time was
waving his trusty old stick and yelling
you thought you got away with that but you hear me out
and i don't give a damn how much you scream and shout
you did a bad thing despite that story you'd sell me
so i'm sending you to an eternal life of pleasure in hell

'Coz i'm an ever-lasting pushing, shoving sucker for pleasure
and when it comes to doing it my heart know no measure
did you make yourself sick
pretending you were a brick
until you realised
desire's a treasure

One day we'll fly to the land of our desire
way up high theres nothing that we require
in the land of our desires
through the rain water wind and fire
to the land
to the land

to the land of our desires
