Analysis of Stolen Words & Secret Sin
Tonight, Tonight, Tonight (wake up)
He's famished
Tonight, tonight, tonight (dress up)
She's ravished
Stars in eyes and dulcet light
Pale stroke and piercing bite
Voiceless verse and "hold me tight"
Pale stroke and piercing bite
Tonight, Tonight, Tonight (wake up)
Tonight, Tonight, Tonight (used up)
Tonight, Tonight, Tonight (wake up)
He's famished
Tonight, tonight, tonight (dress up)
She's ravished
Tonight, Tonight, Tonight (used up)
They're lavish
Tonight, Tonight, Tonight (used up)
