Xanny bars, Fancy cars
Tabloid news, the fight to choose
Building walls between our friends
With their ugly means and ugly ends
As the fires burn across the sand
Libertine puts out her hand
Take the chance you know you should
Do this world a little good...

Whoa is me
Have you seen my Libertine
Does she keep her fingers clean
as she dance across the scene?
Is she out breaking hearts
while the war machine they start?
God help us to bring her back home.

Its all the same, every day
TV screen is where they prey
Telling lies into our heads
You won't know the truth until you're dead
The poisons in the waters now
As the noxious gas springs from the ground
Libertine where have you gone?
Are we witnessing the fall of Rome?

Whoa is me
Have you seen my Libertine?
Does she keep her conscience clean
as she dance across the scene?
Is she out breaking hearts
while the war machines burn hot?
God help us bring her home tonight...

Oh no, its not right.
There won't be another chance to win this fight.
Oh no, no not this time.
We gotta fight now for our rights
We gotta fight to stay alive
We gotta fight for freedom, right?
RIGHT?!

Where are you?
Where are you?
Libertine, where are you?

Lyrics:

You look so at home in the shadows
You lie in wait for your chance
To attack
Licking your lips oh, so softly
A quick look back?
That could be costly
Because once you stare
You're already caught in the trap

Just love me deadly
She's so deadly lovely

Anything you want
Just take all that's left in me
Anything at all
Even the air I need to breathe
Anything at all
I'll lay it down right at your feet

Just love me deadly
She's so deadly lovely

I feel like I've been marked
for torture
So catch me if you can
And time me to the rack
A quick look back?
That could be fatal
I know you're more than capable
I know I wished for this
I know I wished for this
But can I take it back
When I said...

Just love me deadly
She's so deadly lovely

Repeat Chorus

I play daily
The name of the game is survival
If I'm not careful
You might not see me tomorrow
So I pray to thee
Go against your instincts
Your animal tendencies
And just be human
Give in...
Come on give in...
Just give in....

Repeat Chorus
