Lo and Beholden
I was alone and content in my world
Dancing on air
You sent to me a message that said
I like your style
Will you come to the temple tonight
And dance for me there
I pledge to you all that you wish
The moon and the stars
Lo and beholden
Why don't you give it up?
Lo and beholden come on you know it's true
Lo and beholden
Oh, I'm beholden to you
In the palace, there was wild reverie
And the look in your eyes
As I dropped veil after veil
Was drunken desire
The dove calls and God notes it all
The naked truth
Here is my veil, the seventh and last
It will cost you
Lo and beholden
Why don't you give it up?
Lo and beholden
Come on, you know it's true
Lo and beholden
Oh, I'm beholden to you
The royal word has passed
The prophet's head is all I ask
For beauty and the naked truth
It will cost you
Lo and beholden
Why don't you give it up?
Lo and beholden
Come on, you know it's true
Lo and beholden
Oh, I'm beholden to you, oh-oh, you
Lo and beholden, why don't you give it up?
Oh, I'm beholden to you, oh-oh, you
Oh-oh, you, oh-oh
Dancing on air
You sent to me a message that said
I like your style
Will you come to the temple tonight
And dance for me there
I pledge to you all that you wish
The moon and the stars
Lo and beholden
Why don't you give it up?
Lo and beholden come on you know it's true
Lo and beholden
Oh, I'm beholden to you
In the palace, there was wild reverie
And the look in your eyes
As I dropped veil after veil
Was drunken desire
The dove calls and God notes it all
The naked truth
Here is my veil, the seventh and last
It will cost you
Lo and beholden
Why don't you give it up?
Lo and beholden
Come on, you know it's true
Lo and beholden
Oh, I'm beholden to you
The royal word has passed
The prophet's head is all I ask
For beauty and the naked truth
It will cost you
Lo and beholden
Why don't you give it up?
Lo and beholden
Come on, you know it's true
Lo and beholden
Oh, I'm beholden to you, oh-oh, you
Lo and beholden, why don't you give it up?
Oh, I'm beholden to you, oh-oh, you
Oh-oh, you, oh-oh
