Here my child
   Rest your head on me.
   Cos I'm the safest man you'll ever meet.
   I'll tell you a story
   I won't expect you to believe
   About a boy who lost his reason to deceive
   It's the death of my desire
  
   While I grew up I hid behind a smile.
   I was never allowed to be an average child.
   And now the years have forced
   me to be a man. I find I can't go
   Along with this meaningless sham.
  
   It's the death of my desire.
  
   I want to find a new way
   But I can't make it on my own,
   I want a partner in crime
   So I don't feel so alone.
  
   So come to bed,
   I won't disturb your sleep.
   Cos I've a secret I'm determined not to keep
   I see you understand my point of view,
   You're safe because there's nothing I
   need from you.
  
   It's the death of my desire.
