Green River - Tunnel of Love

Let me tell you a storyAbout an old friendHe seemed pretty happyBut said he was missing somethingDown on the street one dayHe saw a shining lightHe let his thoughts consume herAll through the nightHe said "Baby won't you take meTo your tunnel of love"She said "Maybe, only if you'reWilling to give it all up"He smiled and said "Sure whatever you say"That's when he startedTo drain awayAll he ever wanted was a taste of her loveYou know he lost more than he ever gotA love so tender, a love so sweetTwo cannibals devouring each other's meatThen one day he came over to my placeI opened the door to his greenish-white faceHe fell down shaking, down on my floorWrithing and screaming: "no more..."That's when I began to understandWhat he came here forWhen she was young she was toldThe way to a man's heart is through his stomachShe didn't listen to her momShe slipped in through his prickHe thought she was the girl of his dreamsShe turned out to be the woman of his screamsWoman! come out...He lost himself in a tunnel of loveHe never learned how much was enoughYou knw he gave her everythingNow she controls all of himWoman! come out...
