lyrics
Oh dearest Elaine, well you know I cannot explain,
these messages you send burning my brain,
and I can't tell the difference,
pleasure and pain.
I love to watch you do your card tricks,
with your half shut eyes and your dangerous lips,
everybody knows your going to sink my ships,
but I can't tell the difference.
Pleasure and pain, oh dearest Elaine,
I got no business casting blame,
it takes two to play this game,
oh pleasure and pain.
Sometimes I feel like a knight of old,
doing exactly for his damsel as he's told,
but sometimes I can't help but wonder,
am I a hero or fool,
and I can't tell the difference,
pleasure and pain.
You write me the sweetest little lines,
but there's so much sour between the lines,
and everybody says it's just a matter of time,
and I can't tell the difference.
Pleasure and pain, oh dearest Elaine,
I got no business casting blame,
it takes two to play this game,
oh pleasure and pain.
Sometimes you got to be cruel to be kind,
I ask you Elaine where going to draw the line,
especially when I'm so confused all the time,
I can't the difference,
pleasure and pain.
Oh dearest Elaine, I love you so,
and it's me so much every time you go,
can't you see Elaine I need to know,
and I can't tell the difference.
Pleasure and pain, oh dearest Elaine,
I got no business casting blame,
it takes two to play this game,
oh pleasure and pain.
Oh dearest Elaine, it's all pleasure and pain,
Oh dearest Elaine, it's all pleasure and pain.
You can't just sit down and write songs like these. You have to wrestle with the angel first. Tyrella has done that- the proof is the songs on Albedo. He is a master songwriter. Rodney DeCroo
