Deliberate provocation
Is what you gave to me
You got me going
You got me going
How could such a simple thing
Get so out of control?
You let me down again
You let me down again
I know my place inside your heart
A painted figure that glows in the dark
No, you're not mysterious now
I don't worship that sacred cow
In my head
In my head
In my head
You'd never know it
You'd never know it
I went home in a jealous rage
You were rolling on the grass in a younger age
You know what's good for me
I know you're too good for me
'Cos I have seen inside your heart
Religious figures that glow in the dark
No, you're not too precious now
And I don't worship that sacred cow
Go, and try as you may
To get a sharp shift on Judgement Day
You let me down again
You let me down again
I know my place inside your heart
A painted figure that glows in the dark
No, you're not too precious now
I don't worship that sacred cow
Go, and try as you may
To get a sharp shift on Judgement Day
Sacred cow
Judgement Day
Coming your way
Is what you gave to me
You got me going
You got me going
How could such a simple thing
Get so out of control?
You let me down again
You let me down again
I know my place inside your heart
A painted figure that glows in the dark
No, you're not mysterious now
I don't worship that sacred cow
In my head
In my head
In my head
You'd never know it
You'd never know it
I went home in a jealous rage
You were rolling on the grass in a younger age
You know what's good for me
I know you're too good for me
'Cos I have seen inside your heart
Religious figures that glow in the dark
No, you're not too precious now
And I don't worship that sacred cow
Go, and try as you may
To get a sharp shift on Judgement Day
You let me down again
You let me down again
I know my place inside your heart
A painted figure that glows in the dark
No, you're not too precious now
I don't worship that sacred cow
Go, and try as you may
To get a sharp shift on Judgement Day
Sacred cow
Judgement Day
Coming your way
