LYRICS

And I know
It will be
An easy ride, all right
And I know
It will be
An easy ride, okay

The mask that you wore
My fingers would explore
The costume of control
Excitement soon unfolds

And I know
It will be
An easy ride, yeah
Joy, fought vaguely
With your pride
With your pride

Like polished stone
Like polished stone
I see your eyes
Like burnin' glass
Like burnin' glass
I hear you smile,
Smile, babe

The mask that you wore
My fingers would explore
The costume of control
Excitement soon unfolds

Easy, baby

Coda queen--be my bride
Rage in darkness by my side
Seize the summer in your pride
Take the winter in your stride

Let's ride
Easy, easy...
All right
