Alannah Myles The Great Divide Lyrics

The Great Divide Lyrics

A fever that makes you wanna shed your skin

A walking testament to original sin

Gotta good trick up your sleeve

Crocodile daydream, you wanna, you wanna believe



Strike a truce and stand at ease

You can choose to slam me to my knees



Cheap resistance in my way

I wanna become your Independence Day

Give me something for the shape I'm in

Southern comfort, oh

Again and again and again and again



Missionary if you please

I fell from grace and landed on my knees



Welcome to the great divide

Fallen angel stuck inside

All temptation justified



I'm a prisoner, baby, with no reprieve

The kind of chaos you can count on not to leave



Strike a truce and stand at ease

You can even slam me to my knees



Welcome to the great divide

Fallen angel stuck inside

All temptation



And if the money don't get ya, something will

And if the sex don't get ya, nothing will

The Bank of Karma won't loan

Your yin won't yang, the bed don't bang

And the springs don't sprang

Again and again and aah



Welcome to the great divide

Fallen angel stuck inside

All temptation justified



Welcome to the great divide, great divide

Great divide, great divide

Welcome to the great divide, great divide

Fallen angel stuck inside, stuck inside



Welcome to the great divide

Welcome to the great divide

Welcome to the great divide

Ahh, great divide, great divide
