Lyrics
Your warmth
Your warmth is so deep, Your gaze beams a hole into me
Controlling again Unseparated twins Controlling again
You've sucked All the breath out of me You'll squeeze all the life out of me
Controlling again Unseparated twins Controlling again
Controlling again Unseparated twins You might've been...
Come gentle, slowly, Down tonight
Balloonatic
You came,
You came, you scorched her You came, unstained you adore her
United again Like separated twins United again
You You will remember She knows, she knows you want her
United again Like separated twins United again
United again Like separated twins You can be...
Come gentle, slowly, Down tonight
