Lyrics:

You look good in leather
In bars
Breaking things, breaking hearts
You look good in pleasure
In hotels
Loneliness is the key to break that spell

I am terrified, I think too much
I get emotional when I drink too much
I buy every cry, because I don’t trust
I am terrified

In your blood, the fetish
The prize
Of a million teasing moments blind
Will release you from the circus
The railway
But the gravity between us will keep us safe

I am terrified, I think too much
I get emotional when I drink too much
I buy every cry, because I don’t trust
I am terrified

Sometimes I think this is my favourite IAMX song. But then I listen to all the rest and it's impossible to choose. It's definitely up there though.

[Brandon-osdb]

The national anthem for the anxious man who fears for his health but cannot, or will not, give up the bottle.

[HookersFancyMe]

To this day, this song probably has the most effect over me. I can't count how many times I would be trying to sleep, then I would listen to this, and the strongest urge to dance would wash over me.

[epilepsydance]

This takes me back to 2013 when I was a complete wreck, I was listening to this song daily. Feels like a second life.

[rymanshroomzorz]

This song is relatable af. A stunning piece of art.

[jonsnwz]

Я не нахожу выхода из этого чарующего безумного лабиринта. Но дело в том, что я не хочу его находить. Я просто тону в этом океане, погружаясь в бездну блаженства. Именно такие ощущения от этой песни, и они не покидают меня, браво, Крис!!!❤️

[zombiehurts]

This is a masterpiece, sound art. My conception of perfection! Congratulations Chris, you are X.

[marceltheisen]

Seine Stimme ist einzigartig auf eine ART, die leider nur selten geworden ist

[williamherrera]

You look good in leather, in bars...
Breaking things, breaking hearts
You look good in pleasure, in hotels...
Loneliness is the key to break that spell
I am terrified, I think too much
I get emotional when I drink too much
I buy every cry, cause I don't trust
I am terrified, I think too much
In your blood the fetish...
The pride of a million sleasy moments behind
Who'll release you from the circus? The railway?
But the gravity between us will keep us safe!
I am terrified, I think too much
I get emotional when I drink too much
I buy every cry, 'cause I don't trust
I am terrified...
I am terrified, I think too much
I get emotional when I drink too much
I buy every cry, cause I don't trust
I am terrified!

[clarkeldridge]

I'd love an acoustic version of this.
