Blue steel love Society’s pledge
Vagabond blood Makes the cutting edge
You’re posing nude For the boys
Beneath the red lights And the amplified toys
Harlequin novels provide the dreams
Living alone ain’t what it seems
Shafted life And the gilded cage
Silent fire Turns to burning rage
Passion’s lit But it’s old age
No out It’s the last page
Come on baby, relax your guard
You know, we can get higher
Life can become such a desperate mile
Man and woman have fallen from grace
Mean Spirit Hardness of heart
Will change your face Blue steel love
Like a princess in a story you read
You keep to yourself
You sleep alone in your bed
But STOP Take a look
LOVE is all you’ll find
Sometimes a hero, sometimes a saint
Mostly lonely people like you and me
Come on baby, relax your guard
You know, we can get higher
