They say, "Eat, drink and be merry, take the bull by the horns"
I keep seein' visions of you, a lily among thorns
Everything looks a little far away to me
Gettin' harder and harder to recognize the trap
Too much information about nothin', too much educated rap
Just like you told me, it's just like you said it would be
Well the moon goin' up like wildfire, i feel the breath of a storm
There's something I got to do tonight, you go inside and stay warm.

Someone's got a hold of my heart
Someone's got a hold of my heart
Someone's got a hold of my heart
You, you, you got a hold of my heart.

Just got back from the city with flaming red skies
Everybody thinks with their stomach, there's plenty of spies
Every street is crooked, they just wind around until they disappear
Madame Butterfly she lulled me to sleep
Like an ancient river so wide and so deep
She said, "Be easy, baby, ain't nothin' worth stealin' here."
You're the one I been waitin' for, you're the one I desire
But you must realize first i'm not another man you can hire.

Someone's got a hold of my heart
Someone's got a hold of my heart
Someone's got a hold of my heart
You, you, you, you, you got a hold of my heart.

I can hear that hot-blooded singer on the bandstand croon
Poison love, red roses for blue ladies, Memphis in June
While they're beating the devil out of a guy who's wearing a power blue wig
I been to Babylon and i got to confess
I can still hear that voice cryin' in the wilderness
What looks large from a distance, close up is never that big
Never could learn to drink that blood and call it wine
Never could learn to look at your face and call it mine.

Someone's got a hold of my heart
Someone's got a hold of my heart
Someone's got a hold of my heart
You, you, you, you, you got a hold of my heart, ah yeah.

Infidels session 13, Power Station NYC - 25.apr.1983, BS-16 version 

They say, "Drink and be merry, take the bull by the horns"
I keep seein' visions of you, a lily among thorns
Everything looks a little far away to me
Gettin' harder and harder to recognize the trap
Too much information about nothin', too much educated rap
It's just like you told me, just like you said it would be
The moon risin' like wildfire, i feel the breath of a storm
Something I got to do tonight, you go inside and stay warm.

Someone's got a hold of my heart
Someone's got a hold of my heart
Someone's got a hold of my heart
You-ou, you yeah got a hold of my heart.

Just got back from the city of powder blue skies
Everybody thinks with their stomach, there's plenty of spies
Every street is crooked, they just wind around until they disappear
Madame Butterfly she lulled me to sleep
Like an ancient river so wide and deep
She said, "Be easy, baby, ain't nothin' worth stealin' here."
You're the one I been waitin' for, you're the one I desire
But you must first come and realize, i'm not another man you can hire.

Someone's got a hold of my heart
Someone's got a hold of my heart
Someone's got a hold of my heart
You, you, you, you, yeah you got a hold of my heart.

I hear the hot-blooded singer on the bandstand croon
September song, Memphis in June
While they're beating the devil out of a guy who's wearing a flaming red wig
I been to Babylon, i got to confess
I can still hear that voice cryin' in the wilderness
What looks large from a distance, close up is never that big
Never could learn to drink that blood and call it wine
Never could learn to look at your face and call it mine.

Someone's got a hold of my heart
Someone's got a hold of my heart
Someone's got a hold of my heart
You, yeah you got a hold of my heart.
