I've written these lyrics to the music of "Human" by the Killers:

Fleeting Passion
I guess that I was frightened
When it came down to the wire
Couldn't get myself completely
To go walking through the fire
And then I saw you laughing
From the corner of my eye
Brace yourself
Lose the fear
Let love fly
Is this love or
Fleeting passion
My hands are sweating
My hearts' on fire
And I've been let down
By similar reactions
Is it love or
Fleeting passion
Seems I always look naively
For men to steal away my heart
Many came to the audition
But they didn't get the part
And though they seemed determined
To land the starring role
They missed their mark
Blew their lines
They didn't touch my soul
Is this love or
Fleeting passion
My hands are sweating
My hearts' on fire
And I've been let down
By similar reactions
Is this love or
Fleeting passion
Will you set this fear to right
If I sleep with you tonight
Will you take off without warning
Or still be there tomorrow morning
Is this love or
Fleeting passion
My hands are sweating
My hearts' on fire
But I've been let down
By similar reactions
Will you touch my soul
Is this love or
Fleeting passion
My hands are sweating
My heart's on fire
But I've been let down
By similar reactions
Is this love or
Fleeting passion
Is this love or
fleeting passion
Is this love or
Fleeting passion

Falling in love is like learning to play the guitar; first you learn to follow the rules, then you learn to play with your heart.
Catchy original tune and a great new set of words. :D
Chris
+1 Fits really well and nice concept for your lyrics :D ......You make it look easy :wink:
Great job! :mrgreen:
Haha....Blind kiwi. I read that verse/bridge and immediately thought "I wish I had written that" then I saw your post.
I don't know about the rest of the song because I can't get past that chorus. Fantastic. My only suggestion would be to make the first two lines more stage related. Perhaps "men" could become "leading man" or you mention a scene or lines, or memorize, monologue or ingénue...
Seems I always look naively
For men to steal away my heart
Many came to the audition
But they didn't get the part
And though they seemed determined
To land the starring role
They missed their mark
Blew their lines
They didn't touch my soul
I think if I was making this my own, I'd switch out what you have now as the chorus and make it a verse and make the above your chorus. It really is that good.
Why did I suspect the actor among us would like this?

How about this:
Seems like I always write the screenplay
For leading men to steal my heart
Many came to the audition
But they didn't get the part.
And though they seemed determined
To land the starring role
They missed their mark
Blew their lines
They didn't touch my soul.
Falling in love is like learning to play the guitar; first you learn to follow the rules, then you learn to play with your heart.
Love it.
