Every time I touch you
I feel like something new
Every time I touch you
I feel like something new
I feel the heat of fire
And it burns inside our hearts
Two worlds collide inside our skin
And our bodies are shooting sparks
I feel our flesh dissolving
Like water into sand
And I hear a language spoken
Only we can understand
Understand.
We pull ourselves together
And then we tear ourselves apart
Our words collapse around us
Explosions in the dark
Let the silence be our judge
And then the night be our witness
I'll murder you with love
The killing's in the kiss, it's in the kiss
When things get this dramatic
You can bet that hearts will break
And I feel like a religious fanatic
Burning at the stake
Jesus, woman I love you
And I'm lost with no defense
They say this makes the world go 'round
I don't need to be convinced
Be convinced
Every time I touch you
I feel like something new
Every time I touch you
I feel like something new
I feel the heat of fire
And it burns inside our hearts
Two worlds collide inside our skin
And our bodies are shooting sparks
I feel our flesh dissolving
Like water into sand
And I hear a language spoken
Only we can understand
Understand.
And I feel like something new
I feel like something new
I feel like something new ...

Written at Electric Lady studios and was the first song we recorded for Mood Swing. It was fueled and inspired by George's bass line. It was our first experience with great session drummer Dennis McDermott who laid down a great beat. The rest of us added our riffs to complete the song, the only song we recorded that doesn't have Douglas.
