She
was a cold blooded lass
she
was brutally handsome
I
was terribly naive
She
held me up, her emotions were random
and
my heart was on my sleeve
She
had a nasty reputation as an ex-warlord
They
said she was ruthless, and ardently chored
We
had one thing in common,
We
were well matched when met
I'd
say, 'Xena, Xena...you're turning my head.'
Life
with my Xena
Surely
make you lose your mind,
Are
you with me so far?
Eager
for action and boot for the game
The
coming attraction, the drop of her name
She
knew all the wrong people,
she
had all the right skills
She
had outrageous battles, oh those heavenly kills.
There
was blood on the chakram, blood on her hands
I
pretended not to notice
She
was caught up in the dance
But
every evening, while it was still light
She
was too taut to make it
I
was too tired to fight about it
Life
with my Xena
Surely
make you lose your mind
Life
with my Xena,
Never
had us no time
Life
in the trenches, uh huh
Fightin'
and burnin', blinded by pain
I
helped her see the Stop Sign
I
helped with restraint.
She
said, "Listen, baby. Can't you leave me alone
I've
been up and down this pathway
And
I gotta atone."
I
said, "I'm your answer. I think we're gonna last!
The
Fates say we're eternal
in
the future and in the past."
You
keep cruisin' for atonement
messed
around and got lost
You'd
already paid that high cost
Life
in the fast lane
Oh
yeah.
