Oh, the heads that turn
Make my back burn
And those heads that turn
Make my back, make my back burn
The sparkle in your eyes
Keeps me alive
And the sparkle in your eyes
Keeps me alive, keeps me alive
The world
Oh, the world turns around
The world and the world, yeah
The world drags me down
Oh, the heads that turn
Make my back burn
And those heads that turn
Make my back, make my back burn, yeah
Hey yeah hey, yeah hey
The fire in your eyes keeps me alive
And the fire in your eyes keeps me alive
Inside her you'll find sanctuary
Inside her you'll find sanctuary
And the world, the world turns around
And the world, and the world, the world drags me down
And the world, and the world, and the world, the world turns around
And the world, and the world, and the world, and the world
The world drags me down
Ah, hey yeah, hey yeah

I agree with OpinionHead; I'm pretty sure it's about a prostitute.
Just because it's got "sells" in the title doesn't make it about prostitutes. One can "sell" for more than money. You've heard the phrase "Everyone pays for sex", right? And sanctuary doesn't imply sex, tho it might mean love. <br /> <br /> The "her / you / she" might just be different points of view. <br /> <br /> You've all heard of poetic license, right? It's a rock 'n' roll song! Not an instruction manual! It doesn't have to have a literal and direct meaning! Like a lot of songs, it might just be intended to evoke a feeling, imagery, ideas. Doesn't have to be tightly defined or specific. Not everybody has REALLY heard the word about the bird!
