Lyrics
IN A STRANGER’S ARMS
Her velvet lips match her cocaine hips
When she walks into a room you can’t help stare
Lady of the night, well you’re looking so right
Yeah, I bet you’re gonna give someone a thrill
But I have to know…Come on and tell me
When you’re on the street does your heart agree?
And you feel unharmed in a stranger’s arms
When you’re on the street does your heart agree?
Do you feel no harm in a stranger’s arms?
That powder blush doesn’t cover much
Yeah, nothing seems to make your face turn red
Your daddy’s gone, left you all alone
And now you’ve got to pay the bill yourself
And I have to know…Come on and tell me
(chorus)
But I have to know…Come on and tell me
When you’re on the street does your heart agree?
And you feel unharmed in a stranger’s arms
When you’re on the street does your heart agree?
Do you feel no harm in a stranger’s arms?
When you’re on the street (come on and tell me)
And you feel unharmed (come on and tell me)
When you’re on the street (come on and tell me)
Do you feel no harm in a stranger’s arms?
YOU AND ME (AGAINST THE WORLD)
Take up your arms / ‘cause we’re going to war
Even if it seems there’s not anything left worth fighting for
Damn all the odds and who’s keeping score
Storm at the gatekeepers with all hell’s fury and more…
‘Cause it’s you and me against the world
Yeah, it’s you and me against the world
Here comes the void, closing in on us all
In its path it will destroy anything,
structures set up to fall
Damn all the odds and who’s keeping score
We’ll storm at the gatekeepers with all hell’s fury and more…
‘Cause it’s you and me against the world
Yeah, it’s you and me against the world
Fighting the fear, (fighting the fear) we refuse to die!
It’s you and me against the world
FIRE ARMS
We leave today / Go forth into the virgin space
I wouldn’t do that / I won’t leave you there all gone astray
I’ve fallen asleep but never far along the stream
You’re gonna be the catalyst of crowning dreams
Fall into my arms
Deafening alarms are all sounding
Don’t you jump the gun
Bullet casings raining around me
Aboard a plane, we’re flown into a foreign space
I’ve fallen asleep but never far along the string
You’re gonna be the catalyst of crowning dreams
(chorus)
And did you say,
“Don’t you leave me or deceive me.”
Starting today
You believe it, now conceive it
Don’t hesitate
I will catch you, I will catch you, I will catch you
Fall into my arms
Deafening alarms are all sounding
Don’t you jump the gun
Bullet casings rain all around me
MADAME SPIDER
A steel-toed boot, the magnet went to my head
I’m twitching like a fly that’s caught in your web
Oh no, don’t speak of love
I won’t hear any talk of it
Constricted, fist-clenched heartbeat,
strapped to the bed
I’m coitius, then a meal, devoured like bread
So no, don’t speak of love
I won’t hear any talk of that
Best call the search off / Before they…
Come find you
You’re living with the lights off / Cause they…
Just blind you
BARRICADES
Don’t just stand in one place
Throw up your hands and scream!
Fuck this town, blow out the speakers
Knock you down and leave you speechless
If we’re too loud, no one’s excited
We won’t turn down, don’t invite us…
Back against the wall
Your excuses, my faults
You seem so far away
So break down your barricades
People, young and old
Who always had to do as they were told…
(pre-chorus, chorus)
Back against the wall
Your excuses, my faults
You seem so far away
So break down your barricades
KILL YOU FASTER
I stood alone, waiting for the sun to break me
Back in our home, you were far away and warming
the world for me
You once said, “There’s better things in life and
what you’re after will kill you faster.”
Yeah, you once said, “There’s better things in life
than…what you’re after will kill you faster.”
Face to the wind, I returned again to where I had
once been made to feel whole
But the Lord above denied me…
a second plea
(chorus)
With nowhere to run to darling,
we hang our hopes on the wind
Forever in the sun hoping
someday we will be there
You once said, “There’s better things in life and
what you’re after will kill you faster.”
Yeah, you once said “There’s better things in life and
all these things you’re after will only kill you faster.”
Yeah, you once said to me, “There’s better things in life
so won’t you marry me and settle down?”
Oh no, I’m dying in this town
Well, you once said “There’s better things in life and
what you’re after will kill you faster.”
