Take The Addiction
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Show me the nerves twitching on your face
Killing the flesh on the bone
You're just one final scream away
You love it to death ya know
Tell me ya lie on your bed of nails
Tell me you're losing control
Nightmares in ecstacy ya need
A razorlike crown of thorns
Hey, hey, yeah take the addiction
Hey, hey, yeah just a little
It's just one pretty kill away away
Hey, hey, yeah kiss the affliction
Oh a pretty kill away, a kill away tonight
Screaming babies on razor blades
Into the hole you slide
Barbed-wire and twisting snakes
In a bed of nails you die
Hey, hey, yeah take the addiction
Hey, hey, yeah just a little
It's just one pretty kill away away
Hey, hey, yeah kiss the affliction
Oh a pretty kill away, a kill away tonight
