MOTH TO A FLAME

©WORDS & MUSIC BY Pam Tate 1994

I've been dancing around you for a long time
The brighter you glow the more I lose my mind
But there's pleasure mixed with pain
Your light is like a chain
That draws me to your smoky heat
Hurts so bad but feels so sweet

CHORUS
Like a Moth To A Flame
You got me hypnotized
Like a Moth To A Flame
I can't see nothing but light
Like a Moth To A Flame
I'm mystified
How can something that burns so bright
be so deadly in the night
I'm a moth
to your flame

I've been dancing around you for a long time
I turn to face you and I go blind
My will goes up in smoke
There's no antidote
You shimmer like the finest lure
And tempt me to a place where nothing is sure

BRIDGE
I surrender
I yearn
I surrender
And I burn and burn
