He blew into town like a paper sack |
|
In a stolen car with a shotgun in the back he said |
|
She can't run now, she can't hide |
|
I'm gonna get her back for her lies lies lies |
|
He taught her how to pout |
|
And he taught her how to tease |
|
And he taught her how to beg |
|
When she fell down to her knees he said |
|
Your face is different |
|
But you're really all the same |
|
I have to teach you a lesson again and again |
|
See i feel no pleasure |
|
And i feel no pain |
|
So what else can i do? |
|
I can't stop killing you |
|
When you're out there in the dark |
|
I'll come rushing through your brain |
|
When you wake up in the morning |
|
I'll be coursing through your veins |
|
When you're swimming in the water |
|
I'm the hand that drags you under |
|
I'm the lightning that strikes you |
|
Just before you hear the thunder |
|
I can't stop killing you |
|
Well she woke up in the bathroom |
|
With her face upon the floor |
|
She said i don't know what i'm doing here |
|
But i've been here before |
|
And the fixit man had fixed her |
|
'cos he's such a little hitler |
|
And he loves the feel of power |
|
That she gives him through her terror |
|
I can't stop killing you |
|
Well she looked into the mirror |
|
And she smoked her cigarette |
|
And she wondered where she'd go now |
|
To find a place she could forget |
|
All the things he said he'd do |
|
I can't stop killing you |
|
When you're out there in the dark |
|
I'll come rushing through your brain |
|
When you wake up in the morning |
|
I'll be coursing through your veins |
|
When you're swimming in the water |
|
I'm the hand that drags you under |
|
I'm the lightning that strikes you |
|
Just before you hear the thunder |
|
I can't stop killing you |
