doctor can you tell me
what is the matter
i can't feel remorse
but i simply feel shattered
now these dreams turn to nightmares
and i wake up with a start
i need the sweet fire of your love
blowing through this hole in my heart

mother can you tell me
what am i to do
been trying for a hundred years
to build a bridge back home to you
and the bounty hunter's on the trail
seldom misses the mark
i need the sweet fire of your love
blowing through this hole in my heart

now a man in my condition
is bound to make some kind of concessions
i've got the mad dog of regret
that comes nipping at my sleeves
and growling for confession

well father can you save me
i'm feeling pretty sick
i've got a ball and chain around my legs
and an albatross around my neck
even though i wrote the script
i disavow every part
i need the sweet fire of your love
blowing through this hole in my heart
