Lyrics

I felt I was dead
That's how my autobiography would have read
Until the day you came into my life
To my hand or by my side
A redhead at one side of me, a Chihuahua on the other
And then all bets are off
They will enter the temple and soon enough, laughter will be heard
Five years after it disappeared from this world

I kid you not
It is written in pages, on tablets of stone
Engraved in ? on toilet walls
My kingdom has come, hallelujah

There is a way out, a loophole in the contract
A way to go back, a way to go back and relive the pivotal moment
In the primal donna
I trust your final decision
Precision engineering in another dimension
Deliriously happy, a new source of energy that doesn't cost the earth
Erotic rebirth
I knew it in my bones the moment I first clapped eyes on you
Though it took me a lifetime, it took me a lifetime, oh, to see it through

It is written in pages, on tablets of stone
Engraved in ? on toilet walls
My kingdom has come, hallelujah

It will take more than a rolled up newspaper to see me off
I'm indestructible, I'm stuck on you, I'm stuck on you like glue
Stuck on you and your life-force too
Armageddon postponed, paradise regained, ten thousand saxophones take to the street
Can you imagine the racket?
But I love it

Yeah, down come the walls of Jericho
I plant my flag in virgin territory
Come on, let's go
This is new, this is new, shout it from the rooftops

Here we go:
It is written in pages, on tablets of stone
Engraved in ? on toilet walls
My kingdom has come, yeah

It is written in pages, on tablets of stone
Engraved in ? on toilet walls
My kingdom has come

Oh, they're marrying for love
Marrying for love
Yeah, they're marrying for love
Yeah, they're marrying for love
They're marrying for love
They're marrying for love
They're marrying for love
