In a backstreet bar
On the south side of town
Where the music never stops
And the sun never hangs around
Two lovers meet
And their eyes feel the heat
They're moving to the sound
and they're feet never touch the ground
Never touch the ground

CHORUS
Passion play
It's a game to take your breath away
Passion play
It's a game to take your breath away
Passion play

She feels kinda shy
As she turns on the make
She got the inside moves
Always gets what she means to take
He feels kinda loose
As she tightens the noose
He's got the front runner on him
And nothing but his luck to lose
And that's a lot to lose

CHORUS

It's just a passion play

Works up a sweat
And it's all for effect
As she takes another drag
Off her cigarette
He'll never really know
Her feelings never show
She's cut him down to size
With the fire in her eyes
And nowhere to run
Nothing to say
Is there any other way
Than to call it on a passion play

CHORUS

In a backstreet bar
On the south side of town
Where the music never stops
And the sun never hangs around
Two lovers die
As the passion hits their eyes
Moving to the sound
and their feet never touch the ground

CHORUS
