Take me to the desert
  Where there's got to be
  A whole heap of nothing
  For you and me
  Take me to the desert
  Take me to the sand
  Show me the colour of your right hand.
    Love is a temple
  Love is a shrine
  Buy some love at the five and dime
  A little bit of love
  From the counter store
  Get it on credit if you need some more.
  I'll be the figure of your disgrace
  A criss cross pattern upon your face
  A woman's just too tired to think
  About the dirty old dishes in the kitchen sink.
    I wish I was invisible
  So I could climb through the telephone
  When it hurts my ear
  And it hurts my brain
  And it makes me feel too much
  Too much too much too much.
  Don't cut me down
  When I'm talking to you
  'Cause I'm much too tall
  To feel that small.
    Love is a temple
  Love is a shrine
  Love is pure
  And love is blind
  Love is a religious sign
  I'm gonna leave this love behind.
  Love is hot and love is cold
  I've been bought and I've been sold
  Love is rock and love is roll
  I just want someone to hold.
