I hear a sigh, longing for loving in this life 
The how and the why, that keeps [bad word] through the night 
Touching divine, for me it has only your face 
I'm looking to find pieces of wisdom I've misplaced 

I don't make [bad word] dear 
You don't hear the symphony I hear 
We don't get a dollar bill for every shining tear 

Fictitious and so real 
Love's a onetime deal 
With a delicious dark appeal 
And a religious kind of zeal, yeah 
So precious, yet surreal 
Life's a onetime deal 
With a delicious dark appeal 
And a religious kind of zeal, yeah 

Witnessing fault in every pawn in the game 
The only one called proudly answers to my name 
No I don't know why love is a thief in the night 
The one that you try, is your most devoted guide 

We don't make [bad word] dear 
We don't hear the symphony they hear 
We don't get a dollar bill for every shining tear 

Fictitious and so real 
Love's a onetime deal 
With a delicious dark appeal 
And a religious kind of zeal, yeah 
So precious, yet surreal 
Life's a onetime deal 
With a delicious dark appeal 
And a religious kind of zeal, yeah 

So thank you for choosing me, playing me, displaying me 
And selling me to slavery, yeah 
Thank you for using me, flaying me, erasing me 
Awarding me for bravery 

Fictitious and so real 
Love's a onetime deal 
With a delicious dark appeal 
And a religious kind of zeal, yeah 
So precious, yet surreal 
Life's a onetime deal 
With a delicious dark appeal 
And a religious kind of zeal, yeah
