Neon Messiah Lyrics - Terence Trent Darby

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
