I whisper below, they scream up above
I'll take one last breath suffocated by love
If wishes were horses then beggars would ride,
I got the whole Western world riding right by my side
Suffocated by love
Work through the morning, sleep through the day
I go see my market man I hear what he got to say
When the heavens are spared its great ball of fire
Darkness just feeds the hunger of desire
Suffocated by love
There's one more than others that loves what I do
In an apartment block tenth street and First Avenue
She says I've known a few breezes, I'll tell you what's more
I'll give thanks to the wind that blew your ship to my shore
He's a hard-working man, wears a suit and a tie
He gets what he pays for, then breaks down and cries
He's got needs of his own, gives me many different names
She's working late again, asphyxiated by shame
Ooh, asphyxiated by shame
Suffocated by love
I got money to my left, diamonds to my right
The secrets to my riches between my thighs
I guess I've been blessed by the gods up above
I'm just waiting to be suffocated by love
