This song is timeless, and nearly 20 years after its creation, still possesses the mystique it did the first time i heard it ~1994. To me, at first blush, all those years ago, it had some kind of homo-erotic allure. The line "so that the others may do" tells of something which must be done for others to follow suit. It felt like like some kind of roxy-glam-pop invitation to sexual liberation.
Upon further introspection I think the song may not have an intrinsic meaning, but simply represents a sort of "holding open the door" for people who otherwise might be affronted by this song/band's unusual style. I know, as a sort of armchair rock-historian, that there have been few bands so daring and so true to the sound that wanted to emerge from within, whether the creator wanted it or not. This band handled it with elegance and grace seldom, if ever, seen.
Hearts beating like a drum
Like foxes on the run
Nothing baby, nothing is forever
It's too late to stop me now
You couldn't anyhow
Baby can't you see us together
Oh oh tell me baby
Oh oh tell me now, tell me now
Tell me now, baby now
[Chorus]
Are you too hot
Can't you see it's forever
I'll sail with you the seven seas
'Cause I know babe what you feel
Are you too hot
Can't you see it's forever
I say it's like a symphony
Baby you know the way I feel
Oh be my eternity
Baby come on back home, baby, tonight
Reaching out to take your hand
Together we will stand
Not just in my arms and in my heart
You know I love you so much
Alive my life for your to touch
Was it just a favorite from the start
Oh oh tell me baby
Oh oh tell me now, tell me now
Tell me now, baby now
[Chorus]
Are you too hot
Can't you see it's forever
I'll sail with you the seven seas
'Cause I know babe what you feel
Are you too hot
Can't you see it's forever
I say it's like a symphony
Baby know the way I feel
Why are you too hot
Can't you see it's forever
I say it's like a symphony
Baby know the way I feel
Why are you too hot
Can't you see it's forever
Like foxes on the run
Nothing baby, nothing is forever
It's too late to stop me now
You couldn't anyhow
Baby can't you see us together
Oh oh tell me baby
Oh oh tell me now, tell me now
Tell me now, baby now
[Chorus]
Are you too hot
Can't you see it's forever
I'll sail with you the seven seas
'Cause I know babe what you feel
Are you too hot
Can't you see it's forever
I say it's like a symphony
Baby you know the way I feel
Oh be my eternity
Baby come on back home, baby, tonight
Reaching out to take your hand
Together we will stand
Not just in my arms and in my heart
You know I love you so much
Alive my life for your to touch
Was it just a favorite from the start
Oh oh tell me baby
Oh oh tell me now, tell me now
Tell me now, baby now
[Chorus]
Are you too hot
Can't you see it's forever
I'll sail with you the seven seas
'Cause I know babe what you feel
Are you too hot
Can't you see it's forever
I say it's like a symphony
Baby know the way I feel
Why are you too hot
Can't you see it's forever
I say it's like a symphony
Baby know the way I feel
Why are you too hot
Can't you see it's forever
