Blues Traveler Defense And Desire Lyrics

Defense And Desire Lyrics

Music: bobby sheehan

 Lyrics: john popper

 

 Step in from the rain

 It's the nightingales on 2nd avenue and i can't complain

 It's a busy night

 The regulars know me but all the same they decide i'm alright

 Whiskey hit me fast

 Don't mess with that stranger over there he'll do the same & you both may
last

 

 No i won't regret

 The air is thick and wet

 With defense & desire

 

 Little girl what you doing here

 Don't mess with that vampire in the corner who beckons you near

 Are you waiting for the band to play

 It's too loud in here for words but those staring eyes have much to say

 If you meet those eyes in fun

 Could be trouble for you if you don't back up what you've begun

 

 No i won't regret

 The air is thick and wet

 With defense & desire

 

 Gonna run the show someday

 Gonna buy this bar and everything in it and run it all my way

 Talk to you about it till dawn

 Tell you all my plans and twisted dreams until the blow is gone

 By providence i'm sent

 Into this unsuspecting tavern to build and feed on your discontent

 

 No i won't regret

 The air is thick and wet

 With defense & desire
