Lyrics paragraph.

You can’t touch, you can’t touch me.

I’m what you want, I know it.
I’m what you want, I show it.
You can’t touch me. No, you can’t touch me.

You think you know what I am.
You think you got me hand.
But I am a dragon’s claw.
The teeth of a cat.
I’m the eye of the storm.
The tongue of a rat.
I am a sword in the wind.
The shadow of God.
The hiss of a snake.
And the witch’s silent nod.
And you can’t touch this. Or this. Or this.
No you can’t hold that. Or that. Or that.
You can’t touch me.

I’ll hold tight.
I’ll kiss you through the night.
I’ll tell you that I love you true.
You’ll think that you have loved me too.
But darling, don’t you start.
For love I’m just too smart.
Don’t believe a word I say;
Just enjoy the game we play
Before I run away.

I’m what you want, I know it.
I’m what you want, I show it.
You can’t touch me. No, you can’t touch me.

You think you got down you part.
You think you’ve got my heart.
But I’m the cliff at night.
I’m the dark of the moon.
I’m the cry of the wolf
And the virgin’s swoon.
I’m the giant in chase.
The foot out the door.
I’m the mouth full of blood.
I’m the pusher always asking for more.
Asking for more. More.

You’ll call me sweet and sweep me off my feet.
You’ll think that you have touched me too.
But don’t pretend you know me through.
You know that I can hold you tight
And kiss you through the night,
But don’t believe a word I say;
Just enjoy the game we play
Before I run away.

Don’t hold tight,
Don’t kiss me through the night
If you think I’ll love you too.
I’ll never say the words to you
Before I run away.

This song was my contribution to the Lost Songs Project on MacJams where musicians posted songs in the style of someone else as if it were a lost track never released. I patterned this one after "Hungry Like The Wolf" by Duran Duran. It also has the feel of Frankie Goes To Hollywood, The Buggles, and Tears For Fears. It's great fun to write pop music... once every few years. Song art is by my friend, Martyn Murphy, titled Music Floss.
