Kill me quick
Kiss me slow
Kill me quick
Kiss me slow
.
It was all for you
You know
In honour of my throbbing need to bleed them
Just to show
Indeed I did these deeds to feed your longing need to know
If I could be the missing piece
You need to free the ghost
.
Kill me quick
Or kiss me slow
I could be the missing piece
You need to free the ghost
.
Kill me quick
Or kiss me slow
I could be the missing piece
You need to free the ghost
.
I see me
In your eyes
Each time this thing between us grows
No need to speak
To prise out deepest secrets and expose
Imposing need to break the sequence
Crack the keeper’s code
When for you I’m only too pleased to disclose
.
What is it you wish to know
Kiss me quick
Or kill me slow
Both I tend to fantasise
Guess you’ve got me bang to rights
Say the word
I’ll stand aside
And each sweet dream romanticised
Will reek of a cheap pantomime
To strategise alone
.
I could be the missing piece
You need to free the ghost
I could be the missing piece
You need to free the ghost
.
To label me psychopath would be very very rude
But baby
I’ll play psychopath
Would do the math for you
Besides I like the glide path we attune
My heart
It rides the aftermath of bloom
.
At half mast
Lest I feel your glance
Upon my darkest parts
I wake sometimes at half past two
Reveal my battle scars to you
Then squeal as your tongue runs each through
Get wet
Would hedge a bet that you do too
.
Kill me quick
Kiss me slow
Kill me quick
Kiss me slow
Kill me quick
Kiss me slow
I could be the missing piece
You need to free the ghost
.
Fractured minds like ours
Have powers
Over lowly skies
We tower
Need no brief on these encounters
Mine is yours
As yours is ours
Every time you take a pause
I get a chill that thrills for hours
Kill me quick
Or kiss me slow
Before our souls are both devoured
.
Tear me apart
Like a shred piece of art
Part your lips
And breathe me in
So I can whistle in your heart
.
It was all for you
Every honest drop of blood
Bonny tonic to your chronic lack of active duty snuff
Have seen you on the edge
Indeed I did these deeds to near you on the ledge
For I would hedge a bet
You’d made of the right stuff
Bleed with me
Devoutly
Free the ghost from host
Receive the bounty
Deep down you know
It’s not about me
.
What is it you wish to know
Kiss me quick
Or kill me slow
Both I tend to fantasise
Guess you’ve got me bang to rights
Say the word
I’ll stand aside
And each sweet dream romanticised
Will reek of a cheap pantomime
To strategise alone
.
Kiss me quick
.
