"Souls" lyrics - THE STRANGLERS

THE STRANGLERS
"Souls"
(Jet Black / Hugh Cornwell / Dave Greenfield / Jean Jacques)

Just like an Indian I climb
Offering sacrifice
Up to the temple on the hill
Can human heart suffice?
Can I survive the world alone
Without a well within my home
Without the one idol's love
Shining down upon me?
She eats Souls
She eats Souls
All that I'm offering's the heart
That's all I have to give
With all this heat surrounding me
My deity forgives
And if she needs it every day
I'll climb the steps my savage way
Uttering incantations up up above me
She eats Souls
She eats Souls
Souls
Can I survive the world alone
Without a well within my home
Without the one idol's love
Shining down upon one?
She eats Souls
She eats Souls
