Lust Lyrics

To me, this song is the ultimate tale of forbidden love. Two people so transfixed with each other, that they truly merge their existence, if only for a moment in time.

I find the following line intriguing:

'so she prays, for a prankster and lust, in the marriage bed and he waits till she can give.'

It is obvious that the female in this song is not available, perhaps married to another. She is afraid what this lust will do to her marriage, so she is hoping that the passion in her own marriage will reignite and save her from herself.
