KIRSTY MACCOLL - Can’t Stop Killing You lyrics

(kirsty maccoll/johnny marr)<br><br>He blew into town like a paper sack<br>In a stolen car with a shotgun in the back he said<br>She can't run now, she can't hide<br>I'm gonna get her back for her lies lies lies<br><br>He taught her how to pout<br>And he taught her how to tease<br>And he taught her how to beg<br>When she fell down to her knees he said<br>Your face is different<br>But you're really all the same<br>I have to teach you a lesson again and again<br><br>See I feel no pleasure<br>And I feel no pain<br>So what else can I do? <br>I can't stop killing you<br><br>When you're out there in the dark<br>I'll come rushing through your brain<br>When you wake up in the morning<br>I'll be coursing through your veins<br>When you're swimming in the water<br>I'm the hand that drags you under<br>I'm the lightning that strikes you<br>Just before you hear the thunder<br>I can't stop killing you<br><br>Well she woke up in the bathroom<br>With her face upon the floor<br>She said I don't know what I'm doing here<br>But I've been here before<br>And the fixit man had fixed her<br>'cos he's such a little hitler<br>And he loves the feel of power<br>That she gives him through her terror<br>I can't stop killing you<br><br>Well she looked into the mirror<br>And she smoked her cigarette<br>And she wondered where she'd go now<br>To find a place she could forget<br>All the things he said he'd do<br>I can't stop killing you<br><br>When you're out there in the dark<br>I'll come rushing through your brain<br>When you wake up in the morning<br>I'll be coursing through your veins<br>When you're swimming in the water<br>I'm the hand that drags you under<br>I'm the lightning that strikes you<br>Just before you hear the thunder<br>I can't stop killing you
