[Sterix]

I had a snippet of tune in my head and the words (what naturally became the song title) just popped into my head. So I wrote the song around them. I think I may have been listening to some Jim Steinman around the time.

Needs some work doing to it but overall I'm fairly happy with it.

YOUR ASS IS AS HOT AS HELL BUT YOUR HEART IS AS COLD AS ICE


VERSE
I try to get you right out of my mind
But you're a one of a kind
And I just can't let you go
I pass unheeded all the danger signs
As I cross over the line
I feel the loss of all my hopes

BRIDGE
Desire is stronger than the gun to my head
There is no point, someone said,
If you don't live beyond the edge
You spread your wings and then you find you can't fly
And as you fall from the sky
You wake up and you scream again

CHORUS
This insanity
Burns inside of me
Knowing you want what you can't have but you still roll the dice
And then I look at you
Only to see the truth
I have to wonder what I'm prepared to sacrifice
They say only time can tell
But I don't need its stern advice
Your ass is as hot as hell
But your heart is as cold as ice

VERSE
The wiring's faulty inside of my head
Where I see blue you see red
And the grass is never green
The rain is falling and somebody said
That all the books that they read
Lie forgotten in their dreams

BRIDGE
You paint a picture speaking louder than words
But still they never get heard
If you don't feel with all your heart
You’re just a mirage in my desert of pain
I know I'm falling again
I should never have chased a star

CHORUS
This insanity
Burns inside of me
Knowing you want what you can't have but you still roll the dice
And then I look at you
Only to see the truth
I have to wonder what I'm prepared to sacrifice
They say only time can tell
But I don't need its stern advice
Your ass is as hot as hell
But your heart is as cold as ice

INSTRUMENTAL

BRIDGE
Desire is stronger than the gun to my head
There is no point, someone said,
If you don't live beyond the edge
You spread your wings and then you find you can't fly
And as you fall from the sky
You wake up and you scream again

CHORUS
This insanity
Burns inside of me
Knowing you want what you can't have but you still roll the dice
And then I look at you
Only to see the truth
I have to wonder what I'm prepared to sacrifice
They say only time can tell
But I don't need its stern advice
Your ass is as hot as hell
(as Hell)
But your heart is as cold as ice
