Fanatic Heart lyrics
Songwriters: Kirwan, Larry;

I remember your eyes from the 12th of July
When the sirens were screamin and the flames lit the sky
And you held me so tight, thought you d never let go
Til the bullets exploded on the pavement below

Then I laid you down next to a burnt out car
Screamed out for help but you were gone too far
Still got that picture of you locked away from the start
Developing inside my fanatic heart

I went around in a daze for a couple of years
With the blood in my veins frozen over with tears
And I did anything that they asked me to do
Cause all I could see was that picture of you

And the young ones passin by d say, "How s about you, real hard man"
Deep down inside I was just a castle of sand
Still got that picture of you locked away from the start
Developing inside my fanatic heart

Then they took me inside, threw me up against a wall
They put electric prods on my chest and my balls
And they told me to sign things that I knew weren t true
And in the end I did what they told me to do
Then they locked me up and threw away the key
Left me there with just your memory

Now I walk through New York like a gray silhouette
Tryin hard to remember what I m supposed to forget
That look in your eyes on the 12th of July
When the sirens were screamin and the flames lit the sky

Hey, I sleep with other women and I hold them through the night
Cause all I want to do is just get on with my life
But that picture of you won t let me make a new start
It s frozen inside my fanatic heart
