Love Kills

(album: VI - 1987)

Sometimes I ask myself why even bother
When it goes in one ear and right out the other
Out on a limb out on the edge no matter what they say
The pleasure of pain day after day, day after day

Love kills
And it hurts me to see you this way
Love kills
And it kills me to treat you this way

Each day we rise with the sun in our room
Needles and pills lead us right to our doom
Looking like the tail end of a hurricane
Death warmed over the rear end of destruction

Pock marks and scars adorn your face
It used to be pretty
But its just getting ugly
Cause your getting caught up in a loosing race
You're drowning in a sea of drugs
They pulled out the carpet
Look at everything you've taken
What have you done

The distance grows you're fading away
Disturbed since birth
No way to control you
You took a vow to love me forever
Never say you're sorry
I did it my way
