“Tenderloin” is the ninth track of Agents of Fortune and the third ballad. In general, talks about cocaine—a tenderloin’s the best cut of coke you can buy—and some people say that talks about prostitutes too, so, it’s the real meaning of “sex, drugs and rock'n'roll”.
[Verse 1: Eric Bloom]
I come to you in a blue, blue room
By some abuse and some heart
You raise the blinds say, "Let's have light on life
Let's watch it fall apart, let's watch it fall apart"
[Chorus: Eric Bloom]
Night time flowers, evening roses
Bless this garden that never closes
Treat her gently, treat her kind
Tenderloin will last all night
[Verse 2: Eric Bloom]
I'm feeling hungry, have another line
So faith is taken up
You raise your eyes say, "That's just like life
There's never quite enough; there's never quite enough"
[Chorus: Eric Bloom]
Night time flowers, evening roses
Bless this garden that never closes
Treat her gently, treat her kind
Tenderloin will last all night
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Verse 3: Eric Bloom]
I come to you in a blue, blue room
By some abuse and some heart
You raise the blinds say, "Let's have light on life
Let's watch it fall apart, let's watch it fall apart
Let's watch it fall apart!"
[Instrumental Outro]
