86 Degrees Songtext
von Bob Hinrichs

I met my fate
You found your destiny
I took the bait
I fell before I knew
The power of that kiss
Would end all chances to resist
The dark allure of such a woman as you

I curse the day
I found this place
The mountain green
The sails upon the sea
A jagged edge of land
Where tears just vanish in the sand
It′s Hell at eighty-six degrees


All of the reasons why she had to lie
And keep out of sight
I became an expert in these matters overnight
And there's nothing I can do
As she sits with her new lover in the sun
I′ll be the one that they'll be coming for tonight
The secret that you hide
The truth no one will see
Will wither in the sun
At 86 degrees

I had my dance
You pulled the strings
I fold my hands
And stare into the empty sky
To think that I could play
In your sophisticated game
What kind of fool, what kind of fool was I?

Now I'm the one
Who has to live
With this thing I′ve done
So horrible and true
But I would do it all again
For just a chance to believe
For one moment more
That I was loved by you


All of the reasons why she had to lie
And keep out of sight
I became an expert in these matters overnight
And there′s nothing I can do
As she sits with her new lover in the sun
I'll be the one that they′ll be coming for tonight
The secret that you hide
The truth no one will see
Will wither in the sun
At 86 degrees

The secret that you hide
The truth no one will see
Will wither in the sun
At 86 degrees
