Lyrics
LINGER ON
A holy roller preacher and a woman with a bottle of vodka
It's a lethal combination sometimes
Acolytes what a sight roaming the streets at alone at night
Buddha sings, and cymbals ring. they claim they found Nirvana in Beijing
The green eyed glowed in the chickenman's hand
bounce its way to the ace of spades who just goes away
And join another conversation with a man
whose head seems too big for his collar . . . he says
I don't want to hear about institutions, revolutions your
solutions always leave me damp moist wet and misty
ooh, linger on.
Wrap you hands around me, linger on
Your gonna take me home, make me feel alright
linger on, linger on tonight.
Can't you see my hand trembling from the strain
you left upon my heart
Arranged to mean everything
your a cool mind disturber, a cool mind disturber
Embraces most remembered are those which linger on
