Secret Love and the Fastest Way to Loneliness - This Providence

Puts on a pretty dress and wears it all over town

All over town

Says «I can give what you want

Escape from the pain

My bed’s already made»

Well, I was searching for something but didn’t know what

And I found a whore on the corner of the street

She wrapped her arms around me and she kissed me on the mouth

She said «there's more where that came from

Whoa baby, there’s more»

Like a lamb to the slaughter I followed her home

Into bed with a stranger

No one has to know

No one has to know

Puts on a pretty dress and wears it all over town

All over town

Says «I can give what you want

Escape from the pain

And nobody has to know»

Stay away, stay away

She wants your soul

She’ll take your life

Stay away, stay away

It’s all secret love

And the fastest way to loneliness

I can’t get enough

But my soul is rotting

What have I become?

I can hear their screams so clearly now

With a shake of my face I awoke and saw my fate

All alone in the darkness

Chained to the devil’s gate

Puts on a pretty dress and wears it all over town

All over town

Says «I can give what you want

Escape from the pain

And nobody has to know»

Stay away, stay away

She wants your soul

She’ll take your life

Stay away, stay away

It’s all secret love

And the fastest way to loneliness

I hear the beautiful voice of wisdom

Joined by the angels, she sings

Well her words are sweet like honey

And sour to my stomach

She says, «Get on your feet

Come dine with me in heavenly places

Where you can hear the angels sing»

Puts on a pretty dress and wears it all over town

All over town

Says «I can give what you want

Escape from the pain

And nobody has to know»

Stay away, stay away

She wants your soul

She’ll take your life

Stay away, stay away

It’s all secret love

And a slippery road to hell
