Ilsa's beautiful dreamy Lou Reed-esque lyric, with some sweet jazz guitar by Paul, with guest Hammond from Joel.

lyrics

She was lost... he was found
Made her smile... lifted her frown
Heart beats faster, her voice would sing
Those crimson lips were his new thing

Hard, sharp, handsome - her eyes burned a-fresh
Yin to his yang... east to her west
A kiss so severe, yeah... speaks to her skin,
But pain stained her mind - looking back.... played her sin...

She danced to his trance - the attraction rang true
“We don’t need nothing now... it’s just me and you”
Shared shameless thoughts, her sex poised to strike
Past makes history - hunger takes flight

In many ways, times malaise... feel both the same
Sometime it’s hard, hard – who takes the blame?
He loitered, untamed – like a cunning pest
But these new strapping arms, now her safety vest

She croon sweet melody, cuts him to his core
Love stroking, past choking... asphyxiates lover’s spore
Sweet sting, wedding ring, love’s hymn... or just a whim?
This scare her more... How do they win?

So this the prize, a pain in the heart
Souls bemused - even when apart
Love swears forever, maybe false guarantee?
What measures this heart – where’s my warranty
