Lyrics

(verse 1)
If you're a Kennedy, if you're Rob Lowe
You will fall prey to it; you'll be laid low
If you're the princess of the whole U.K.
Nothing you say can reverse the flow
You know what I'm talking about

(verse 2)
If you're a prostitute, if you're a priest
It's the key element of your mystique
Some people worship it, others abhor it
Just between you and me, I do adore it

(Chorus)
You know what I'm talking about
You know what I'm talking about
You know what I'm talking about

(verse 3)
It can enslave you; it can set you free
If you're in jail, it's the lock or the key
It lifts up the lowly, it corrupts the holy
The scope of its power is beyond all belief
You know what I'm talking about

(Bridge)
Poet or president, justice or thief
You will find glory, you will find grief
Stranger or resident, wealthy or poor
All become equal under its allure

(verse 4)
Before Consummation, or After the Deed
It will change everything between you and me
It can express love, it can express hate
It is the vessel of birth, death and fate
Bridge/Chorus End
