Spare me the suspense
Spare me the suspense
I got no currency, but I'm heaven sent
So spare me the suspense
Just spare me the suspense

Hey Lady Rain, I so hope you try; you're late
Babe, you know it's your time

And I won't let you sit by, so cold in the pitch night, alone
You can't make amends
No, I won't let you sit by so cold in the pitch night
We should dance like two fucking twins
Just spare me the suspense

There are seven ancient pawn shops along the way
And there're seven aching daddies you may want to know

Ooo, right on

Hey Lady Rain, oh baby, I can't deny
I got a taste, a taste, a taste, and it's time

But I won't let you sit by so cold in the pitch night, alone
You can't make amends
No, I won't let you sit by so cold in the pitch night
It's enough with this fucking incense
Just spare me the suspense

There are seven ancient pawn shops along the road
Oh, I know seven aging daddies you may want to know

When you played your heart out, it made me turn around

Ooo, right on

Wait, and you froze in the night
You're late, there's a hole in the sky
No haste, no lesson, no lie
I got a taste that I can't deny
(Spare me the suspense)
And you wait till you know that it's time
You wait till you know that it's time
You wait till you know that it's time
(Spare me the suspense)
You wait till you know that it's time
You say that I'm sent from God, do you know
You said that I'm sent from God?
