It’s a collision of desire

I want love and you want lust

It’s a collision of desire

You want excitement I want trust

You want your freedom

And you want mine

You want uncertainty

I want peace of mind

You’re sick of the mundane

You want sublime

You see fidelity as towing the line

You want the eternal in your own time

It’s a collision of desire

A collision of desire

A collision of desire

A collision of desire

You want freedom from your pain

So do I but not by playing this game

It’s a happiness that cannot last

Carries indemnities from both our pasts

I want assurance at a premium you won’t pay

You keep leaving when I want to stay

You say you love me as you run away

Don’t feel much like love to me anyway

It’s a collision of desire

A collision of desire

A collision of desire

A collision of desire

Travelling opposite directions

Down a one-way street

The odds were on that we were bound to meet

But I’ll pull over and let you go your way

Cos we were heading for disaster anyway

It’s a collision of desire

I want love and you want lust

It’s a collision of desire

You want excitement I want trust

It’s a collision of desire

A collision of desire

A collision of desire

A collision

It’s a collision

It’s a collision

It’s a collision of desire
