  • Woke up in a cold sweat
    In the middle of the night
    Seems like a lifetime
    When you're wondering who's wrong or right

    One confession would resurrect the truth
    Revenge or forgiveness for sins between me and you
    Now we dance with the devil down lonely
    street, lonely street

    Looking for a window in the house of tears
    Living in hell, I pray the rain disappears
    I'm headed for a breakdown
    And the fever runs higher

    As I kneel at the altar I can feel your fire
    In the church of desire
    Church of desire
    You never find a reason why love falls from grace

    Some kind of voodoo, like a spirit you can't embrace
    There's a voice in the mirror, and a ghost in my heart
    That relives the passion before we were torn apart
    Now we dance with the devil down lonely

    Street, lonely street
    Looking for a window in the house of tears
    Living in hell, I pray the rain disappears
    I'm headed for a breakdown

    And the fever runs higher
    As I kneel at the altar I can feel your fire
    In the church of desire
    Church of desire

    Now we dance with the devil down lonely
    Street, lonely street
    Looking for a window in the house of tears
    Living in hell, I pray the rain disappears

    I'm headed for a breakdown
    And the fever runs higher
    As I kneel at the altar I can feel your fire
    In the church of desire
