The Flame Songtext
von Marc Almond

Red light Adonis, why do you look so blue
When they′re all adoring, all adoring you?
Your satin eyes so sinful, though sad and lonely too
Glowing like a candle, muscle and tattoo
Lovers fall around you like the autumn leaves
A hard-hearted hero, laughing as they grieve
Many have fallen where many you deceived
Bathing in your aura, they're wanting to believe

The moths are drawn to the flame
And as they are consumed, you′ll learn
Not to go near the flame
You'll burn, you'll burn, you′ll burn

Lonely men and ladies all become your toys
For one fleeting moment they taste your youth and joy
Red light Adonis, each night they buy your love
And they only see an angel sent from heaven above


The moths are drawn to the flame
And as they are consumed, you′ll learn
Not to go near the flame
You'll burn, you′ll burn, you'll burn

And as your light shines brightly, one day it will expire
No more fragile hearts consumed within your fire
Only the mirror will reveal you as you are
Burned out and lonely, a faded star

Red light Adonis, why do you look so blue?
Are all those adoring now ignoring you?
No more friends or lovers, only cruel truth
And nothing dies so quickly as the flame of youth

The moths are drawn to the flame
And as they are consumed, you′ll learn
Not to go near the flame
You'll burn, you′ll burn, you'll burn

You'll burn, you′ll burn, you′ll burn
You'll burn, you′ll burn, you'll burn
You′ll burn, you'll burn, you′ll burn
You'll burn, you'll burn, you′ll burn

Thank you. It was "The Flame."
