Defense Desire Lyrics - Save His Soul - Blues Traveler

Step in from the rain 

It's the nightingales on 2nd Avenue 

And I can't complain 

It's a busy night 

The regulars know me 

But all the same they decide I'm alright 

Whiskey hit me fast 

Don't mess with that stranger over there 

He'll do the same and you both may last 

No, I won't regret 

The air is thick and wet 

With defense and desire 

Little girl, what you doing here? 

Don't mess with that vampire in the corner 

Who beckons you near 

Are you waiting for the band to play? 

It's too loud in here for words 

But those staring eyes have much to say 

If you meet those eyes in fun 

Could be trouble for you 

If you don't back up what you've begun 

No, I won't regret 

The air is thick and wet 

With defense and desire 

Gonna run the show someday 

Gonna buy this bar and everything in it 

And run it all my way 

Talk to you about it till dawn 

Tell you all my plans and twisted dreams 

Until the blow is gone 

By providence, I'm sent 

Into this unsuspecting tavern 

To build and feed on your discontent 

No, I won't regret 

The air is thick and wet 

With defense and desire
