Wide eyed, grinning in the darkened room Sipping cactus brandy from a China spoon Coming in the morning, in the afternoon Forgetting So tired waiting for the end to come Fully dead already but forever young Hello my dearest father it's your favorite son Theres some things that I'm regretting I am destroyer, I am lover I am destroyer, I am lover I love one thing destroy the other I am destroyer, I am lover A gypsy told my fortune and I told her hers I said you'll die in the mountains wrapped in silver furs You'll be looking for your lover in the midnight sun And you'll perish for your lover when the frost has begun I have a way of seeing and it's nearly gone And nobody was listening so I wrote this song And when you know the chorus you can sing along You'll destroy the things you love even though I am destroyer, I am lover I am destroyer, I am lover Why love one thing and not the other I am destroyer, I am lover I am destroyer, I am lover I am destroyer, I am lover Why love one thing and not the other I am destroyer, I am lover I am destroyer, I am lover I am destroyer, I am lover And when I kiss I like to smother I am destroyer, I am lover
