Take me to the desert Where there's got to be A whole heap of nothing For you and me Take me to the desert Take me to the sand Show me the colour of your right hand. Love is a temple Love is a shrine Buy some love at the five and dime A little bit of love From the counter store Get it on credit if you need some more. I'll the figure of your disgrace A criss cross pattern upon your face A woman's just too tired to think About the dirty old dishes in the kitchen sink. I wish I was invisible So I could climb through the telephone When it hurts my ear And it hurts my brain And it makes me feel too much Too much too much too much. Don't cut me down When I'm talking to you 'Cause I'm much too tall To feel that small. Love is a temple Love is a shrine Love is pure And love is blind Love is a religious sign I'm gonna leave this love behind. Love is hot and love is cold I've been bought and I've been sold Love is rock and love is roll I just want someone to hold.
