lyrics

"X-RATED X-TASY"

Come near me, Arlene!
Whisper you secret desire!
I want to fulfill you
With my raging fire!
My fingers grow clever!
My brain screams rebirth!
The strength of this feeling
Shakes the virus of words!

X-rated ecstasy!
While we touch with wicked wisdom!
X-rated ecstasy!
While we share our velvet visions!
X-rated ecstasy!

Put my head on your shoulder!
Hold all my love tonight,
The softness of your body
Warm in ethereal light.
Need constant excitement!
Can’t face silence again!
Want you to be my soundtrack,
Yeah, my special friend!

X-rated ecstasy!
While we touch with wicked wisdom!
X-rated ecstasy!
While we share our velvet visions!
X-rated ecstasy!

We’ll surpass every moment you’ve ever treasured
By a direct connection to your zones of pleasure!
Let’s explore devices, imagination unchained,
Sixty-nine positions in our erotic domain.

X-rated ecstasy!
While we touch with wicked wisdom!
X-rated ecstasy!
While we share our velvet visions!
X-rated ecstasy!

X-rated ecstasy!
I wanna get real tight tonight!
X-rated ecstasy!
I want you to tell me the names of your chromosomes!
X-rated ecstasy!
