SLAVE TO THE SICKNESS CALLED LOVE


WORDS & MUSIC: HANK “HOLY ROLLER” RAY
COPYRIGHT CONTROL, 2012


Smells like diesel smoke and burns in my eyes
Jesus is right on the left baby, I’m on the right
Chemical love stories - thunder and rain
Cars and girls and I hear someone calling out my name
Calling my name
Calling my name
Calling out my name
Calling out my name

 

Wild heart’s hammering in my chest
V-8 motor running on high-octane gas
My breath goes heavy like the northern winds that blow
Because your flame burns me through and through
I’m a slave to the sickness
Slave to the sickness
Slave to the sickness called love
I’m a slave to the sickness
Slave to the sickness
Slave to the sickness called love
Called love
Called LUV
Baby!

 

Devil loops underneath a delirious moon
‘n’ chrome darlings are screaming, “Too much too soon!”
Studying the west it looks like rain
The cross of Calvary and I’m burning away
Burning away - burning away
Burning away - burning away

 

Wild heart’s hammering in my chest
V-8 motor running on high-octane gas
My breath goes heavy like the northern winds that blow
Because your flame burns me through and through
I’m a slave to the sickness
Slave to the sickness
Slave to the sickness called love
I’m a slave to the sickness
Slave to the sickness
Slave to the sickness called love
Called love
Called love
Called love
Called LUV
