lyrics

Beginners at heart we now imagine
The product of our creation.
We find ourselves in this situation:
Your movement causes reaction.
And my desire is for your possession:
It’s just obsession
Magnificent Obsession

In a brief, brief limousine
Filled with magazines
Of every description, description and choice
Smothered in sensual noise
Breathing the perfume, perfume and scents
Reeling in the present tense, present tense

Worn out at heart we now examine,
the ruins of our creation
We find ourselves in this situation,
your movement dulls my reaction.
I’ve lost desire for all possession
I’m left with this obsession
Magnificent Obsession

Enough is enough, I wish I could take
A common form of escape
With cigarettes and in bars
Polite action in bars
I’ve got myself, myself to blame
For playing such dangerous games
Dangerous games

It’s just obsession
Magnificent Obsession
It’s just obsession
Magnificent Obsession
It’s just obsession
Magnificent Obsession
It’s just obsession
Magnificent Obsession
