Now I was creeping through the night Sliding through the shadows keeping out of sight Cos when you're lonely and on your own You haven't got a basement you can call your home. The last dance had come and gone Lost my waltzing partner couldn't carry on. And then I saw her dressed in silk Leaning back on velvet she was white as milk Now I can hear it, high volume love Now I can hear it, high volume love Everytime I hear that voice I want to run but I got no choice Cos I can hear it, high volume love. Now she was lonely all her life Always looking for a better slice And she was nervous or so it seemed Anyone could shatter all her fragile dreams I was blinded couldn't see Scarlet painted woman put a spell on me And I believed her when she lied Told me she had love that couldn't be denied. But now there's thunder in the air Hear that devil's laughter ringing everywhere And I'm alone now but never free High Volume Love has got a hold on me If you see me puss me by Anyone would think I got the right to die But I'm a prisoner and I'm in pain She controls the whip and she controls the cane.
