lyrics

When we first met
You caught my eye
Dark of heart
Inclined to lie

Mystic face
And raven hair
My disgrace
My cross to bear

You were my fantasy
My vulnerability
You took me up
You turned me round
You coiled yourself round my heart
I tried to turn away
But I could not escape
You took me up
You pulled me down
You shot me straight through the heart

Your sad smile
Still haunts me now
My tortured soul
You could disavow

You walked in the threatened, threatens
Grotesque in this dying light
Cursing those who bleed around you
How can this all be forgotten?
How?

Brutal lies
Issue from your lips
Cut like blades
And bruise like kicks

You were my fantasy
My only sanctuary
You took me up
You turned me round
You coiled yourself round my heart
I tried to turn away
But I could not escape
You took me up
You pulled me down
You shot me straight through the heart

[INSTRUMENTAL]

You took me up
My cross to bear
You to me up oh oh oh
You shot me straight through the heart
Your sad smile

You were my fantasy
My one depravity
You took me up
You brought me down
You coiled yourself round my heart
I tried to turn away
But I could not escape
You took me up
You pulled me down
You shot me straight through the heart

Straight through the heart
Straight through the heart
Straight through the heart
