Lyrics for He Said He Had a Story

There was a silver circle sign and she was standing at the door We pressed our way right through the crowd, our pace was quickened to her floor There was a single feigning light and there was silk all on the wall She had a lot of love to give, I was prepared to take it all (But what did she do next?) She had disrobed and she was waiting on the floor She asked me what it was I want, I thought that I wanted it all (What did you say?) I said, "Stand up and move your body to the bed" She quickly stood and slowly turned and here's exactly what she said: "Please be soft and sweet to me, this life has not been good, you see It's hard with such a history buried in misery" (And what did you do next?) I broke her smile, reminding that I paid her well Her lips returned, and then I felt her hands unbuckling my belt (So was it good?) Oh, it felt like heaven but I'm sure she was in Hell I made it clear I'd get my money's worth out of the goods she sells Break and bind yourself to me, deliver what you sold You see that I will only take from you And use you up, I'll use you up What was your name? Break and bind yourself to me, deliver what you sold You see that I will only take from you To use it up, I'll use you up What was your name?
