Terence Trent D'arby - Neon Messiah lyrics

She never wanted to be my neon messiah

She never wanted to be my neon messiah

I saw the blood dripping from your caring hands

I prayed it wasn't more blood

Than your month could stand

I didn't hear you say

Kick my pedestal away

She never wanted to be my neon messiah

She never wanted to be my neon messiah

I saw you suffocating in a wordless pain

A whore/Madonna martyr is all that remains

If Oedipus could rise

He'd probably try me on for size

She never wanted to be my neon messiah

She never wanted to be my neon messiah

Roll over tell Stravinsky

She lost herself to please me

I can't handle intelligent women

They're far too deep to swim in

She never wanted to be my neon messiah

She never wanted to be my neon messiah
