In your quiet desperation
You are fighting to be free
Chased by the hounds of justice
And now you're telling me
I can't take it no more
And it's becoming a routine

There's an open invitation
To change the circumstance
Unless you lay your weapon down
We haven't got a chance
I can't take it no more
It's become a routine

Gotta feeling that nothing satisfies
There's a hunger and yearning in you
That you can't deny

It's a political move
You got something to prove
Love is a ritual
You wanna tame the beast on the loose

It's a passion situation
Our desire holds the key
Now you're under sentence
And you put the blame on me
I can't take it no more
It's become a routine

There's an emptiness that's burning deep inside
There's a hunger and a yearning in you
And that won't be denied

It's a political move
You got something to prove
Love is a ritual
You wanna tame the beast on the loose
