A Soft Seduction

The words of love
Are not enough
Though sweet as wine
As thick as blood
Passionless moments
And we are homeless
Out on the street

But life is cool
And things aren't bad
Got what he wants
Lost what he had
He soon adjusted
And got accustomed
To these new ways

Blame God, how can you lose?
Singing such sweet Rhythm and Blues
Strange days, she said to me
Being in love ? don't mean you're free

But night reveals
What daytime hides
Who lingers on
Who sleeps outside
A soft seduction
A strong attraction
Somewhere downtown

A junkie's song
A dancer's knees
The laws of chance
Strange as it seems
Take us exactly
Where we most likely
Need to be
